In my tournaments, in its first two tournaments (30 minutes per game each engine) Spark 0.3 moved into the "elite" group of engines along with such as Hiarcs 12, Shredder 11, and a few others, providing quite a surprise, although at the moment it is not faring as well in its third tournament to obtain a "good" rating - kind of coming back down to earth maybe. Spark 0.3a should be an improvement and will be entered soon enough.

- MP support added for all platforms (Windows 32, Windows 64, Mac OSX 64), Linux 64 version will follow later
- bug fixes (eval, occaisional lockups)
Funny that the vc mp version for 64 bits is 10x bigger than all the others. Perhaps it contains debug symbols?
