 I set the level at 6 minutes on each position. I'm on a Pentium MMX 166.
 Both Rebel 10 and Fritz5.32 spent well over 15 minutes arriving at their
 response.
 Michael Young has written back to say that Hiarcs 7 solved all the problems
 but it took 30 odd minutes to solve position 274.To me this is too slow.
 I suggest that people get Schrillers' book and put the positions which
 Zarkov 5 couldn't solve to their programmes.The book makes a good read too
 so from that point it is a good buy.Sorry about the pun!
