Can't wait to watch

For the first time in a long time I thought I would let one of my babies play

Unfortunately my new engine doesn't have much in common with my old engine and I'm afraid it might take a couple of guesses to remember my old password. Should I request a new account for the new engine or should I just try to log in with my new engine on my old engine's account which shouldn't be much weaker than the new engine anyhow?

[jorose]

Managed to remember my old password as well as log in. I think I will just use my new engine on my old account.

Where can I find timeseal for Linux? I tried with some google search, I found something called zseal, but it seems to be cheating dramatically (I get something like 18 bonus seconds after each move in a 3'+2" game).

[jorose]

Openseal seems to work, though I admittedly didn't look precisely enough to check if it cheats as well.

Iirc this source works fine.

[AlvaroBegue]

Openseal seems to work fine. Thanks!

Isa will be here

[MikeB]

soon to be released developmental McBrain v2.2h is in...rebased on the latest developmental stockfish engine..
Will be running on the latest macOS with the latest Brainfish book and with a new LMR enhancement that allows it search deeper and quicker in SMP mode
