I'm quite aware that self-test are often over optimistic, but here :shock: :shock: This concern eval features that are taking into account "next move" possibilities (hanging pieces, forks...

We all should expect better from CCRL.

Clearly using the royal "we" here....

Hi HG,

Myrddin is connected, but I won't be available to manually join the tournament. Can you do it for me, please?

Thanks!
