Why? I don't see any reason to exclude the QSearch from the printed PV, and I have always printed the entire PV myself. Unless I have a bug, the static evaluation of the position at the end of the displayed PV should always equal the score returned by the search. >This is because end user is interested only in PV of best moves, >so to him PV including QSearch is irrelevant and maybe confusing. Again, I don't understand. Of course the moves near the end of the PV are less likely to be the theoretically best moves than the moves near the beginning of the PV, but this is true even for the main search. The QSearch moves in the PV are no more irrelevant or confusing than the main search moves. Tord
