"MoveFinder" - while it makes some sense to go all the way to the tactical extreme as in WinFinder, it makes much less sense to do the same to the positional extreme. There are all sorts of tactics which must be resolved for good positional play. Of course, a very positional style of search could be done, but it might be twice as fast, whereas WinFinder is (or at least can be, with enough work) _much_ faster than a normal engine. Re. a triple-brain (or double-brain) feature, a user can certainly run both engines at once. I am still trying to understand what users want. Vas
