Yep, corrected, but we still have to look for a better solution.
Same may happen again, when other want to publish something here.
You also have to change the default path to html-images (at home
pc), it has to fit with the path at www.gnubg.org

I used woolsey.met.

Yep, that was also my first thought ... this can't be right, but it
is astonishing, that all bots prefer this or have it at least within
0.010.

I don't know whether there are already some reference rollouts
available for these kind of holding games (I bet there are), but I
