This MeinStein Connect6 release contains the code as left by Theo van der Storm (1960- 2009) for his Connect6 program. The program won silver in the 2007 (Amsterdam) and 2009 (Pamplona) Computer Games Olympiad as organised by the ICGA.
Together with Theo's family it was decided to give other people to see the work of Theo and learn from it. Therefore the code is opened up through the website of the CSVN (Dutch Computer Chess Federation). Theo played a important part in organizing tournaments for the CSVN, nearly 25 Dutch Computer Chess Championships and 6 International CSVN tournaments. Not only chess had his attention, his Stormy chess program competed in the early 1980s in the Dutch Championship, but also with "Einstein Wuerfelt Nicht!" and Connect6.
A "Stormy's Corner" download area has been created on the website of the CSVN. Here you can find the programs Theo has created over the years. The idea is that other people can learn from the legacy of Theo.
Theo, thanks!!

P.S. If you use this program in any way, refer to Theo and what you learned from the program :-)
