actualy you should sort out the strategy by your self and use the engine ony for
looking if it is tacticly corect strategicaly humans are still stronger the
engines.

Hi Martin
actualy using realy much time on a move doesn't make sence because the program
will not find a better move after 10 hours then after halve an hour
it is better to realy look good at the position an try to find a deep
stratigicaly plan
play the lines quickly and then find out what went wrong or if there was a
better defense and the replay the game again
actualy all the games i played post mortem where deeply anelyzes of a certain
position and before posting it I always use diferent engines for testing the
position (about all programs do have their own idea about a position!)
this week or if not next week I will post a game which maybe can give a cleu
where I am talking about.
