Not automaticly, but it can be done. In my engine I use this to speed it up. The only sideeffect is that when my opponent makes a move, it might take up to 10 seconds for the engine to react. Since I don't like speedchess anyway, and it gives a 25% performance boost, it's well worth it. cheers, Tony > >bruce
