Hello dear Frank,
Not at all...its my pleasure and I am happy that you like my new project
About Gaviota,
Miguel Ballicora's engine is very very strong, it has own playing style (definitely an original work) and it passed the similarity test (bellow than 50%)
Note also that Gaviota 0.86 engine played as WB under Arena, maybe as UCI will perform even better
I wish you all the best my friend,
Sedat
