>to make it resign sooner, try "resign=3" OK I'll try that. Thanks for the help, I just added resignation support into ColChess to stop wasting time playing through games which were well and truly lost. The way I handle resignation is rather more simplistic. When ColChess has searched for a move, and has been allocated a reasonable amount of time for that search (i.e. more than a second) and either (a) Its current position is <-100 and the best move it sees is going to worsen this by at least another 100 points. (b) Its current position is <-50 and the best move will worsen this by at least 200 points or (c) Its current position is <-300 and this move will not improve it. ..then it resigns. It seems to work reasonably well, though it _is_ a little naive. Cheers, Colin
