Testing Sugar Pro v.1

[Tomcass]

Contrary to what I thought, the Sugar 2.4 I tested is the official one, as its author, Marco Z. told me last nigth.

Thanks Marco Z.!

Regards,

Tom

This score is 5 elo points below the best Sugar so far: Sugar 2.0 (3285).

Not surprising, Marco had previously stated he was leaving SugaR, due to work mainly, and although he came back, it looks like he still can't devote to it, as much time as he did before.
