I do not understand why do you work so hard in playing games. I think that you should find the number of nodes per seconf of nimzo8 and Junior6 on: 1) Celeron 333 2) K6-2 500 3)Athlon 800 For example If you find that nimzo's number are 250000,500000,1000000 when Junior's numbers are 300000,500000,830000 then it will be an excellent proof that Nimzo earns more from the new processors. The question which program earns more from slower time control is of course a different question and in this case you need games. Uri
