For instance, it may prefer to get back into book, rather than win >a piece. When the book is o.k., then there will be a reason not to win the piece. It would make sense i.e., to avoid accepting a sacrifice which the program cannot calculate through. If the book needs to be checked if it misses a better move, than this has to be done before the release and corrected resp., the program must trust it's book. We would need examples to judge if Vincent's program had a disadvantage by transposing back to the book I think. I'd be surprised. Regards, M.Scheidl
