Don't expect Skipper will play this Saturday, but who cares. There is a big chance that I can't get Skipper in a normal state on time.

@hgm: PuppetMaster would like to choin as well.

This is new hardware, one more chess engine (now 8 in total) so I'm looking forward to see how it performs. There's some tweaking opportunity left.

Hi H.G.

I'm trying to log on but it appears my password is no longer being accepted, even though the account name is recognized. I recall you saying something several months ago about needing to reset or change servers. But since Myrddin hasn't participated in one of these tournaments for quite some time, my account never went through that process.

Can you help me out? I want new Myrddin to play this time!

Looks like now US is on summer time but Amsterdam is still on winter time. S o the tournament is 9pm Amsterdam 4pm (not 3pm) Boston. That is, 2 hours form now. Correct?

Summer already started in the U.S.? :shock:

It is not even spring here yesterday! Did they move it to another planet?
