Hi Talvin,

for our engine information, we need to know your nationality.

Graham.

[TalvinJacobs]

I am British (English)

[Graham Banks]

Thanks.
Is Waterfall a derivative of an open source engine or original?

Graham.

[TalvinJacobs]

It is original.

[Graham Banks]

It is original.

Okay. Thanks.

[TalvinJacobs]

May I ask what happens next?

[Graham Banks]

May I ask what happens next?

Hi Talvin,

as your engine is so strong, it's likely to draw some attention as to its originality.
That is why I asked the previous question.

Could I suggest that you also post in Talkchess so that more people know about Waterfall?

Unless any issues arise, I'll add Waterfall to the testing queue.

Graham.

[TalvinJacobs]

Will do. Thank you!

[Graham Banks]

The letters JA are used when Jim Ablett has compiled an engine.
Does this mean that Jim compiled Waterfall for you?

[TalvinJacobs]

Yes.

[Graham Banks]

Yes.

I'm disappointed because Jim tells me that this is not so.

[Graham Banks]

Any chance that you could provide source code?

Graham.

[Adam Hair]

It is original.
