Ok, so I've also tested version 1.5 of My Lovely Abalone against Nacre
2003.

This time the results are more mixed.

1 sec/move: MLA-Nacre = 4-6
2 sec/move: MLA-Nacre = 6-1

I would say you are ready for an official 30 min/game (15 sec/mov)
match, but I'm afraid I will have to put some serious effort into the
code now if I want to keep my second-place on the list.

Two things:
a) It would be really nice if you had abnet working. It takes a lot of
time to test the programs against each other.
b) My Lovely Abalone search scales better than the one used by Nacre -
so the more time the bigger an advantage your program would have.

Regards,
Peer
