I guess it is better never to guess beta engines in this contest because you cannot know what they are going to do.

I made 2 NG7 betas. I think that Swami played the more experimental (and not as good) version. I said at the time of release that it was probably not as strong. Oh well.
Hi Michael,

From the mail you wrote:
"One of these is the real NG7. NG7a is the one that I hope is the best, but, what I have done is very risky and may just simply be to unsound--results were good though. NGb is also an improvement, but, much more conservative. Neither have been adequatly tested."


I see that it is experimental and is sometimes risky but you added that it was the best, and it was Graham's prize and I didn't have a latest beta and NG7 a and b are the ones I have.

I'm sure the newer Romi beta would do well in division 5 next edition.

Regards.
