After reading this, so me thought that less and less takes the part of programmes in so the prestige tournament. BertTuyt and where your programme.

[BertTuyt]

As most people know, I take a Damage sabbatical, only working on a new Damage GUI and Horizon engine.
Also I normally only participate in tournaments after (to my opinion) I have made significant changes/improvements in my program.

Maybe (not sure) i would be a candidate for a tournament victory in Tilburg.
But winning is not my prime reason for this computer draughts hobby.
I want to test new ideas, make the program better.

And the tournament is only the proof of the pudding, if against other programs these changes make sense.
Even if i was 100% sure i would win a tournament with an unchanged old program, i still would not participate.
