This is exactly what I was looking for. BTW. Do you use an aspiration search (alpha-beta window)? If so how wide. From what I see here I'd say no but I want to be sure. I am using nearly the same extensions (but not on recapture) and I'm getting very similar results. Except that my program runs 10 times slower and I didn't have the patience to way for 2 hours ;) From what I've got now, my guess would be that the one-on-check is what kills this search. Fractional ply extensions anyone? ;) -- GCP
