Hi everyone! Well, I'm still alive although it has been quite difficult staying that way. I guess I'm just a fighter like RomiChess, lol. Following this tournament was like watching Romi being chased by a pack of ravenous wolves, managing to stay just one step ahead. One of the most exciting times I've had in a long time . Thanks Graham. Time to get a new RomiChess ready, but only if I can improve on version p3k.

Welcome back Michael.
Congratulations on the tournament victory and I really do hope that you can release a new version at some stage.

Still time to update.

Yes - I live in Auckland.
You're lucky you came when you did, as it doesn't look we'll be opening the borders anytime soon.

Hi Graham,
until when do you need to know when I have an update for the tournament?
It's now OliThink 5.4.2, Maybe there is another version coming in the next days.

Hi Oliver,

Great. It's 4.5.8 already. A lot of ideas and small steps.
