Ahh ... too small a HD? I have them all installed but don't like this constant
disk thrashing for one iota! It feels like the HD in question could crash any
minute! So I have a second HD, an exact copy of the first just for backup :)

Right ... too many pieces ... I'm often surprised that even the 5p EGTB's help
Pretz so little when there are only say 6/7 pieces on the board. Eg. in the Bc1
position from Sune today it takes an awful long time to find the drawscore ...
and Pretz plays it just as good with or without EGTB's (but I'll have to look at
that more closely).

Hmmmm ... maybe as a visitor, but as player it would be embarrassing ... Ouch,
Pretz just bit me! ;)
