Thank you for the information, and for your continued work on SMIRF!  It 
is much easier for me to develop and test ChessV now that I have another
strong Universal Chess Program against which to test it.  I'll download
the new version you mention and check it out soon...

Also, you should be aware that the last two versions of ChessV (0.8 and
0.81) have a really bad bug which results in the program making really
stupid moves on rare occasions.  I've fixed this, but haven't gotten
around to uploading a correction.  In the next couple of days I will
upload a new version...

Out of curiousity, have you looked at the source code to ChessV?  And, if
so, has it veen of help to you?  Just curious.  I would also be curious to
know what technologies SMIRF uses (such as null move, forward pruning,
quiescent search, singular extensions, etc.)

Thanks!
Greg
