Hi Mats! I do not know to wich variant you are referring. SMIRF actually
does not use any opening library even for established starting arrays, to
not hide possible weaknesses during opening, which should be covered by an
improved evaluation function, which in SMIRF is not stage depending but
constant during the whole game. Regarding that aspect SMIRF already is
handling openings not badly, so in your case it would be recommended to
post me such a critizised example privately.

To your prior suggestion to include some special variant in SMIRF: I am
about to rewrite the whole SMIRF project and to migrate it to Mac OS X. I
will remember such proposals and see then, what could be done. At the
first sight your variant is matching the FullChess criteria to be
included. Regards, Reinhard.
