Its more a sleeping project than a dead project ;)

The best version 1.3x6 is from early 2007 and participated in CCT9, I think it is exact the version that played in the last Chesswars by Olivier Deville. There are very little differences (and probably no difference in playing strength) to 1.3x4 which participates in WBEC. It should be around 40-50 elo better than 1.2 Turin.

Sadly we could only spent very little time for computerchess in the last years, but we are following the scene with high interest though.
