Thanks for this tournament, Graham.

Just when I wanted to start working on BigLion, the desire to find out how GUIs connect to chess servers is gradually becoming strong.

My engine was quite strong till I added knowledge to it.

Ray ran this one and will be pleased to know that it was appreciated. :)

Sounds like ChessGUI tournaments might soon be able to be viewed under TLCV? :wink:

Cheers,
Graham.
