Thanks to @sam @brainking and @raphaeleliekakou the NextGen Project is progressing. We are actually testing and computing different engine matches. These matches are entertaining and somewhat bring surprises when the results are analysed. Here we will discuss the Berolina-Plus Pawns results. For rem...
