I can't figure out which of my computers has the source code. I will have to look through dozens of drives to determine which one it is. I would like to have a tournament, but currently Vortex is in an indeterminant state. I was adjusting the King Safety code back in 2008, then when Bobby Fischer died, I lost interest for a very long while.

I would like to see a tournament, but Vortex cannot communicate with engine referees, and it has no time management code for increments, nor any "countdown" time controls.

I hope you will be able to find that code, there are still a lot of room to improve on this board size.
