Graham,
You too thanks for your continued testing. I made a little detour in writing games for the Android phone, computing perft numbers for checkers and reversi, and yet another detour in writing an 8x8 checkers engine, but I plan to return to developing BikJump soon again!

I'm in the process of developing a new engine and I test with ultra fast against a reference database of 8 engines daily....i chose the engines carefully so that i had a spread of about 100 ELO points between each one, and each was close to the 100 boundary...

Hi Norm,
Thanks for your kind words. And, yes, I am Dutch! Born and raised in Gouda. In 1996, I moved to Indiana as post-doc, and in 1998 I moved to California to work as compiler engineer at Intel. In 2007, I made the move to Google. So yes, very much in the heart of Silicon Valley....
Aart
well, i've done just the opposite...
after working for years in American IT, moved to Bruges with my Belgian wife...(we're just 15 minutes from Sluis!)...

Thanks Aart.
Looking forward to seeing BikJump climb the engine ranks!
