Sam has closed his piano and gone to bed ... now we can talk about the real stuff of life ... love, liberty and games such as Janus, Capablanca Random, Embassy Chess & the odd mention of other 10x8 variants is welcome too

Assunto: Re: Well done on your Gothic Vortex program
Glad you like it.
By the way, if you play it on some of the other levels, like Amateur, Novice, etc., it will turn off some of its knowledge, not just search less deeply. It will turn off the "king safety" code, so it could castle directly into an attack. On some of the higher settings, it will not know how to spot pawn races in the ending that win, so you can outdo it at a later stage.
A part of the challenge was to make it play LESS STRONG without making it play "stupid", and I think we achieved that goal as well.
If you have any interesting games, feel free to use the save as text feature and post them here.
