Regarding playing strength, the last version, i thought, was already the kind of chess i had been dreaming of from a computer for a LONG time.
So any enhancements and fine tuning over that, (+25-30 elo) without losing what there already WAS, is certainly the right stuff for ME!

Heck, I'm not even sure if the GPL applies in this case. I don't think Norm can slap the GPL on a piece of public domain code, but I'm not a lawyer...
