My approach is different from that discussed elsewhere in this thread, but I've been pleased with the results (not that Zotron is a world beater by any means). I track what I call the 'practical depth limit' or PDL. If I run out of time, I make the current best move and decrement the PDL. If I reach the PDL, I make the current best move and increment the PDL. This doesn't explicitly speed up the selection of obvious moves, but it seems to work out that way. > >Thanks, >Eric Oldre (new chess programmer) FWIW Pat King (perpetual newbie chess programmer)
