I am getting an error "Create Process ..." when I try to load it.

Best,
I'll put my Butcher folder in CCRL public for you to look at.

Cheers,
Graham.
Thank you.

Best,
Just downloaded. Thanks.

Best,
No problem. Happy to help out. Hope you can get it working okay. :D

Cheers,
Graham.
Your version is Butcher 1.60n1 w32, I suppose.
Run in console mode without problem.

After I installed vc2005 files for x64, Butcher 1.60n1 x64
runs without an error message.

Thank you!

I'll include Butcher 1.60n1 x64 in my tournaments in few days.

A last minute change of heart. Waxman had earnt its spot in this division and so will remain.
BlackBishop will drop down a division instead, to make way for Matilde.

Looks like the infamouse OliThink bug disappeared.

5.5/6, not bad for a such a small engine ,))

No sign of the infamous bug so far, so I'm quietly confident it's gone. :)

Not that I'm aware, but I guess it could depend on what you look like on a bad day. :wink: :lol:
If you're not happy with that logo, what would you prefer?

Cheers,

If I am tired or angry it comes very close, so I am ok with it.

But I am curious who selected it and why;) Did somebody see me being angry?

Not at all. I chose it for variety, nothing more. I thought it was a good pic and it represented brutish strength.
My logos are just cut and paste jobs of pics found on the internet. I use "Paint" to cut, paste, resize, sometimes add borders and then add the name.
I'm no artist like some of the other logo-makers around.

Cheers,
Graham.
