Thanks for the tournament, Graham/Ray!
At the start I was afraid Rotor would demote twice in a row, luckily it made a bit of a comeback.
In the mean-time, I started a rewrite from scratch, using bitboards this time, but it will probably take quite some time to catch up with present Rotor in playing strength.
I am also planning an update of present Rotor, mostly some parameter tuning, perhaps for the next round of tournaments.
