It is much more robust. Though most changes were bug-fixes, I think it will also turn out to be much stronger. My prelimiary tests (while only blitz games) make it look very good indeed.

I agree, it works like a charm. It's quite amazing for a non computer geek to notice the size of the executable, only 88Kb. Hopefully, leaner means meaner.
Best wishes...

Muhahaha ))
To be fair I've just played two matches with Fortress (the previous vesion) and the scores were;
10m/Side Blitz - ColChess 6.2.3 +16, =10, -24
40m/Side Game - ColChess 6.2.3 +6, =5, -9
Estimated ELO difference on 10/Blitz is about 80.
Estimated ELO difference on 40/Game is about 50, but from a smaller dataset.
(P3-450)
Cheers,
Colin
