I see you have included ProDeo against my express wish not to do that?

Hi Ed,

ProDeo was put into Division 6, as per the email I sent.

I run these tournaments for fun. As far as I'm aware, anybody is free to use ProDeo, except for commercial purposes? Please correct me if I'm wrong.

. The ProDeo chess engine and its components although distributed as
freeware in no way might become subject to any form of commerce.
Permission must be asked first.

. The ProDeo chess engine and its components comes as is and can only be
used as such. It's forbidden to change, add, delete any of its components
and only can be distributed in original form.

Regards,
Graham.

How indecent of you.

I will not forget.

What is the issue with my using ProDeo in my tournaments?

If 2.8 is buggy, I don't mind using a different version. Just let me know the last one which one isn't buggy.

In my humble experience, all engines rated below 3500 ELO are buggy.
