I will not be able to join WaDuuttie manually. Could you please autojoin WaDuuttie when he is online at the start of the tourney.

Many thanks in advance.

Many thanks,

Skipper was very lucky against Embla for Embla caused threefold repetition in a more than totally won endgame (two queens and a knight more). So Skipper should have been last place.

Probably the test set that Skipper uses (WAC) is worthless.

What depth skipper reach with the starting position with only material in eval ? 14 ?15?
Not much ... Isa is not bitboard and reach depth 17 with the minimal eval
Your bitboard is slow no ?

Don't bother giving Henk any advice. He routinely ignores it or "misunderstands" it. Anybody who says that WAC is "worthless" clearly isn't serious. That's my recommendation, anyway....

Problem with WAC test is that counting material only gives good results on that test. So you think you are making progress. But positional play is important too.
