Doesn't that have the disadvantage of tuning the extensions only for WAC, but not for general chess play? You can hardly say that WAC are 'typical' positions... Since I'm not solving all of WAC yet in 'acceptable' time your method seems hard to apply. I'm not sure just picking the one that just solves most is the right thing to do for the above reason. Especially because that happens to be the one _without_ fractional and recapture extensions. -- GCP
