Don Beal

[Dave Gomboc]

Hello John,
Many thanks for your post! Great to hear from you.
I am pleased to report that rumours of my non-existence have been greatly exaggerated.
Hello to all my old friends who might still be members of this forum, and particular thanks to those who keep it running.
I have emailed Jonathan Schaeffer to let him know my current email.
How is Woodpusher?
Best regards to all,
Don Beal

Hey Don, met you in Cologne 1986

I remember Frans Morsch kept on talking to me about your null move algorithm, he later improved the idea using null move recursively in the main search which was a breakthrough and currently in use by everybody.

All the best to you,

Ed

It's a shame that you won't be there, Ed. I'm glad to hear that Don Beal will be, though.

Is there some chance that Frans Morsch might show up? Can anyone here reliably reach him?

I have a paper accepted to ECAI 2024, so I definitely plan to check out the CHESS symposium and WCCC!

Dave
