Maybe you'll have an easier time with the explanation of Brian Thomas ? http://www.talkchess.com/forums/1/message.html?254733 - it's another approach to explain the same thing. You most probably will feel insulted but I think you lack basic maths to really understand the answer to this problem in case you are serious. One of these days I chatted with a chessprogrammer and he wanted to explain three parameters in his program to me that controlled something called "Adaptive Null Move Pruning" and the mechanism involved. I realized that he did a good job and someone with a little more knowledge than me would have understood it perfectly well - and I also got the impression that I got some kind of general impression, but when it is about really understanding I definitely failed. And when some other programmer would have shown up, good in rhetorics and explained that all the explanations were nonsense and the mechanism worked in a very different way I don't know whom I would have believed. And to make it even worse, although I lack information and knowledge I have even some kind of personal opinion about the topic :). Peter
