Micro-Max by H G Muller has joined the Eastern Hemisphere team.

[Tony Thomas]

It is Crashtest Dummy that will be playing, not the Baron. Development on the Baron was stopped last summer.

Hi Richard,

if you've laid The Baron to rest, would it be possible to release the final version for us all to enjoy?
Just hoping for a nice Christmas pressie!

Regards, Graham.

Yes Christmas presents are good even in January. I wish he would release The baron.

Richard told me he'll consider releasing the final "The Baron" once Crash Test Dummy (CTD) is stronger.

You might have missed it amongst the re-send e-mails, but actually not all the e-mails were copies of each other

I have sent you e-mails to enter BOTH micro-Max and Joker!

Please confirm this!

Joker by H. G. Muller has entered.

We now have 8 for the West and 10 for the East.

We need 2 more for the West. Of course, I'd like
to see much more for each side.
Where is HIARCS and ZAPPA?

We need more Western Engines!

Due to some no-shows I offered to enter the Baron about 5 minutes before its game started, so it was fully unprepared. This meant:
- no book, was on its own from move 1
- no egtb's, as they are no longer available on that machine
- no SMP version, as I didn't know where I put a stable version and searching for it would take too long.
- old machine (Athlon 2000+, 1.67Ghz).

This was the main reason to seed it below CTD (just in case someone wonders about that ).
