The new search code allows Screamer up to 5x more time if there is a significant drop in the Search Score to try and recover rather than just making an inferior move. I think the problem is related to ExaChess will only wait what it thinks is a reasonable time period and then tries to reset. I have sent Rolf a message about this. I have a solution that I will send by private eMail. William wbryant@ix.netcom.com
