B is the (expected) end for me:-) thank you for the ride:-)

Thank you testers for testing FW at both time controls! For now I'm going to chalk up the slight Elo loss at 40/40 to bad luck and I hope that the new gauntlet will show the same improvement as the 40/4 rating does:-)

Ah yes, that would be a good explanation:-) Good that you fixed it already :D

Hi Sergio, Thanks for organising this. Could Topple be updated to 0.6.0? https://github.com/konsolas/ToppleChess/releases/tag/v0.6.0 Also, I'm from the UK and not the United States. Thanks. I happened to see Topple 0.6.0 64-bit - Quark 2.35 end in a draw live.. there seems to be something wrong som...

I must delay the start date of the tournament until Sunday or Monday due to a problem I have had. I will use the latest versions, so on Minic's part it will be 0.60 :wink: I'm sorry guys Don't worry Sergio! Thank you for letting us know the tourney is delayed, and good luck with it! When it starts ...

Thank you for using FW 2.4.0, Graham! Nice to see this score:-)

Deadline to update engines: May 22 Start: May 23 http://swisstourneys.pcriot.com/editionVIII/edVIII-groupC.htm Hi Sergio! Good luck with the tournament! Would you be so kind to include the updated FrankWalter version 2.4.0? You can download it here: https://github.com/ljgw/frankwalter/releases/tag/...

I've released FrankWalter 2.4.0 - https://github.com/ljgw/frankwalter/releases/tag/v2.4.0 the singlecore are smp versions are now in the same engine, using the standard name - and also I've implemented a bit of king-safety. Should be better than 2.3.5, I finished at an amazing 5th place in the CSVN ...

Many thanks, Graham!

I watched quite a few of the matches, and I think the best thing to improve is King-safety.
After the csvn tournament I hope to make a 2.4.0 version available, with some improvements in that area:-)
