Interesting indeed. Thank you for running the test.

Square Vacancy contributed much towards its improvement. Can't believe that older version is only 73 in that... I thought many freewares surpassed that limit in square vacancy...

Stefan realised where the weakness lies, and improved mobility? and preference for aggressive/open fight... now that's certainly something to do Square Vacancy.

This can imply that square vacancy is really more important - twice as much as Re-capturing + Bishop/Knight combined.

This _might_ be one of the "secrets" of the new release, but there must be more if you look at the Deep Shredder 12 thread. Shredder 12 seems to be a real killer!

Good job SMK
