Hi!

Well, it's not mate solving what I do, but mate finding, right? You & Heiner do
the mate solving! Mine just gives an indication of what is possible, while you
and Heiner prove (solve) it.

I'm just experimenting with various extensions & other search criteria that help
in finding mates faster. They are built into the alpha beta search that I do. I
wouldn't know where to start explaning, because I really don't know what you do,
our programs seem to work pretty different, right? I have no idea what to tell
you.

If you want to know what you can improve in your matesolver, you should look
into the Chest sources, they are well commented. If you don't read C, you can
already get ideas from the comments alone!

I'm sorry for being evasive, but it's a bit of a difficult question.
