Dear Snowie fans,

As most of you already know, Snowie 3 will be available within a few days,
just ready to be put under the Chrismas tree...

You might pre-order it directly by Oasya (http://www.oasya.com), or by one
of our distributors (http://www.oasya.com/Distributors.html).


The main particularity of Snowie 3 is that evaluations are now based on a
live cube equity. That means Snowie does not display only cubeless equities
as before but all equities are displayed considering a live cube! That
translates into:

Improved checker plays since the cube position is now taken into account for
the right checker play.
Improved cube actions.
Overall performance Snowie 3.0 vs. Snowie 2.x in 3pt matches: 51.8% - 48.2%.

Besides this, several other ameliorations have been added to Snowie. More
info at

Happy Chrismas, happy Snow, happy Snowie !

The Oasya Team
