ProDeo 1.8 free download

This month  it has been released ProDeo 1.8 
I am a great fan of this engine also, but not only, because it was  one of du Chattel's favourite engines while he tested his Nh6 opening system (see previous post).

I know that a lot of chessfriends like this new format, so I am keeping it by now. Here's a link to the
download of the first 86 games in zipped pgn format. This means that 25 new games have been added to the former file.

You will see that in three of these new games, du Chattel started facingWhite's broad pawn center based on e4, d4, c4. Just download the games and see what happened...  :-)
