Actually, I've been running Junior on that other position that you pasted in that you said you gotta go deep to get an answer on, and Junior doesn't seem to be coming up with anything (that I know of) New position 5n2/B3K3/2p2Np1/4k3/7P/3bN1P1/2Prn1P1/1q6 w - - 0 1 Analysis by Junior 6.0: [.......] 1.Neg4+ Kf5 2.Nh6+ Ke5 3.Nf7+ Kf5 4.Nd6+ Ke5 5.Ng4+ Kd5 6.c4+ Bxc4 7.Ne3+ Ke5 8.Ndxc4+ Ke4 9.Nxd2+ Kd3 10.Nxb1 +- (4.74) Depth: 20 00:17:19 573914kN 1.Neg4+ Kf5 2.Nh6+ Ke5 3.Nf7+ Kf5 4.Nd6+ Ke5 5.Ng4+ Kd5 6.c4+ Bxc4 7.Ne3+ Ke5 8.Ndxc4+ Ke4 9.Nxd2+ Kd3 10.Nxb1 +- (4.74) Depth: 21 00:34:58 1156402kN 1.Neg4+! +- (5.04) Depth: 22 00:53:15 1735924kN (Galati, ` 21.01.2001) But then I just saw that position after I made that post (you'd think I'd pay more attention!!) and I can see why that position is giving programs brain freeze. There's just too many explosives in the stockade. Pete
