I should warn you, however, that the current version is not quite as strong most people seem to believe. It has been rather lucky with its initial results. >I just was analysing some games with Gothmog 0.4.5 using the Chessbase interface >(Fritz 8) and and found out that Gothmog freezes the GUI when it's in >analyze-mode in mate-in-one-positions.

If yes, it would be cool if >you could fix this :-) Yes, it is an old and reproducible bug. It's there in xboard, too. Even though I have been aware of the bug for more than half a year, I have never bothered to fix it, because I never thought the engine would be strong enough that anyone would want to use it for analysis. Apparently it is time to fix it now; I will try to do it before the next release. Tord
