As a followup, this is for the CCC. (www.chess.com/ccc). I'd be happy to pay for someone's time who knows how to get this addressed. PM me!

I sent you a PM about this too, but if you would like Scorpio included in the next CCCC (chess.com/cccc), please let me know!

Next event will start right around October 1st. We will have all new versions of all engines at that time.

I’d like to explain why I continued on with the initial plan anyway. As far as I personally understood, the warnings were that using ponder would result in ...
