I would urge anyone testing early versions of 1.3 to NOT use the personality even if it's the default.

But users of 1.3.4 will be able to.

Once this is fixed we can start this contest count me in. Its only patience of the people creating stronger personality thats been tested :wink: I'm sure the personality testers will have some hairs left after all these false starts.
It was the classic software developers mistake. I rushed in a last minute change (using the personality files) and didn't check it out very well. But hey ... it's a free product so what do you expect :-)

Fortunately, I've always left the personality parameter <empty> and Doch has had impressive results as you can see in my Super Tournament X here: http://www.talkchess.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=31227. :)

Did you switch to doch 1.3 in the middle of the tournamet? I noticed the early rounds used doch 1.2 but when I skipped to the last round it was doch 1.3

The Doch 1.2 games were all replayed using Doch 1.3.
