Hi Graham,

you are speaking about it for around 14 months in a thread in tournament selection ... I added Booot 5.2.0 in my list at this time.

Now available, very nice!

Thanks for your effort around Booot and
thanks to the author of Booot.

Best

Hi Graham !

For me it looks like Booot 6.0 always use cpu-time while the opponent calculates at "ponder-off-games" ?!

Hi Gerhard,

haven't had a chance to try Booot 6.0 yet, but I've messaged Sam Hull regarding sorting out Alex's Talkchess account for him.

Hi Graham,

yes I saw it too for minutes after a short test on one of my computers. I added a bugfix message in my Todo list. Have hits from Ukraine and maybe the programmer saw it on this point.

But, thanks again ...
Very, very nice!

The style of Booot is to compare with the style of SmarThink. Booth engine have around the same playing style. Maybe the good and old Russian style. Quazar too ... the style from Quazar is a bit to compare with SmarThink and Booot.

Hi,
I'd like ask, by which way we can increase the hash? Under Arena the hash is only 136 MB.
Thanks for the tip !
