/// MaterialInfoTable c'tor and d'tor, called once by each thread
I have corrected this and put periods on the end of all comments consistently and if the developers don't accept this patch, I will be releasing my own version also.
Not worth the pain. Such a patch increases playing strength by only 10 Elo points.

I have a LISP program that automates adding periods. No problem.
However, to instead simply make a stupid uci option out of this,

Very well. In a new revised version, I am including both ground breaking comments, and have reworked this as the Pan-Galactic Gargle Blaster 1.1.2a
"Tactics are the bricks and sticks that make up a game, but positional play is the architectural blueprint."
You people are sure ready to ridicule Chris Formula for posting a change that may or may not improve SF much. At least he is trying. I am not aware of any of the great contributions to the chess community that any of you have made. One of you contributed to SF , which was based on an already strong engine. This ever present attitude is why people are being driven away from talkchess in droves. I have not made a chess engine or helped make one better, but have enough sense to appreciate the efforts of others. John Karger

Really? Where have they all gone? Most of those I can see posting in other forums also post here.
By the way, I get on well with Chris Formula, so this comment is not supposed to be a further dig at him.

Yes, I feel terrible.
I mean, there were actually more characters in the change of the name than in the code itself.
In any case, no one is belittling his effort, rather poking a bit of fun at the renaming.

Best,

Chris Formula was a member of CCC, but his account was deleted for some reason. He doesn't know when or why.
Hi Graham,
I tried to login at CCC using my account but won't go through. My account seems to be de-activated. I have not logged in my account for months already. I am just wondering how I could get it activated again.
Thanks,
Chris
Hi Graham,
I am using "Chris Formula" as my user name. Thanks for the help.
Regards,
Chris
I used that user name to post months ago (see link below). Is there a policy in CCC regarding deactivation of account if not used for certain period of time?

Best of luck for hitchhiking your way across the galaxy of computer chess. Hope you have a guide or at least the Sub-Etha Sens-O-Matic
