Hi Martin,

Is there nothing wrong with Spark 0.5 ..already loose the first 4 games?

You get the normal KN/s ? ..maybe you have to restart or try it also against Spark 0.4 to see the difference!

JP.

JP.

I've checked all the games and they seems fine. Spark is displaying the proper kn/s. It has picked up the pace since you posted your post, it has now won several games and drawn others. So I think everything is normal, it just had a bad start!

Wow,a great move....a deep positional one with an element of tactical approach....such moves are hard to find by most humans,even the strongest among them as the forced winning line is too long to calculate....

I don't think that Allard intends to make this version public. You'll probably need to wait for Spark 0.6.

Cheers,
