Thank you, Robert.  

Actually, there is something that you (and others) can do to help.  If you
beat it (as you did in Grand Chess), and if it's obvious how you did it,
that information could be helpful to me.  It should be possible to tweak
the evaluation function to fix strategical weaknesses, provided we can
identify those weaknesses.  A save-game file could be helpful to me, too.

Of course, I realise that often a win is achieved by staying slightly
ahead throughout the game, and not by exploiting some weakness, but if you
(or anyone else) does identify some specific weakness, I would like to
know about it!  In any event, if anyone beats ChessV in a game in which it
is able to calculate to a reasonable depth (depending on time and speed of
your computer), I would appreciate it if you could e-mail the save-game
file to me!
