Thank Graham,

Lots for me to do!

Still another 34 rounds to go, so let's see if Maverick can climb the table a bit.
It just had a win over top-placed Tigran!

[Steve Maughan]

Great!

When I look over Maverick's games I see a common pattern. The search is OK but Maverick's lack of past pawn knowledge is costing it dearly. I should be able to fix this for the next release.

Thanks,

Steve

Yes - lack of endgame knowledge certainly hurts Maverick.
I've noticed this area of weakness with other engines too.
