"XiniX dubbel" is not very strong yet in positional play, but it does nice tacticly. ( Never had a program searching >1Mn/s) I still have some problems with the dual version however ( quite unstable search), not easy testing on a single processor but I have a hyperthreading machine to test on for the next few weeks. Also still have a problem with repetition checking. Quite annoying to see your engine kill another and then repeat the position 3 times. I'm pretty sure the problem is in the overlapping part of game history and searched plies. If the kids keep quite I'll find it fast :) I'm thinking of adding some very dubious forward pruning I started playing with, but I need more positional knowledge for that and I don't know if I have the time for that. BTW still need an (Arena) openingbook !! If anyone feels up to it ? Tony > >Cheers, >Martin
