Ok, let me try again :)

My new results are:

TCBoard - BruteForce    Elapsed Time= 3.53 seconds

TCBoard - BruteForce    Ply ----CAPTURES--- -----MOVES----- -----TOTAL-----
TCBoard - BruteForce      1               0              20              20
TCBoard - BruteForce      2               0             400             400
TCBoard - BruteForce      3              34           8,868           8,902
TCBoard - BruteForce      4           1,576         195,705         197,281
TCBoard - BruteForce      5          82,719       4,782,888       4,865,607
TCBoard - BruteForce        _______________ _______________ _______________
TCBoard - BruteForce                 84,329       4,987,881       5,072,210

TCBoard - BruteForce              Captures/Moves Per Second=      1,436,480

It is obvious that en-passant is indeed in your output but my 4,865,607
does not match your 4,865,609.  I am wondering if Vincent copied and pasted or
just typed the numbers in since we differ by 2 moves.

Will Crafty run under Windows 98 or Windows 2000, and if so...
where can I download it from?

Larry.
