My remark was only an observation and not meant to imply that our
search outperformed yours -- sorry, if it sounded this way. :-(

I tested with 64MB transposition tables and somehow overlooked
that "LambChop" searched fewer nodes per iteration up to depth 11.
I probably misread your 1.7 million nodes as 17 million ...

>BTW, I ordered your book last week, looking forward to reading it!

Please enjoy!

BTW, I am really curious how long delivery of the book takes in
Australia / New Zealand.

Cheers,
