But Dann Corbit has made a WIN32 executable, and offers all my sources, together with the EXE as ftp://cap.connx.com/pub/chest/CHEST319.ZIP (674k) If you want just the EXE (and the READMEs): ftp://cap.connx.com/pub/chest/chest319.exe (268k) ftp://cap.connx.com/pub/chest/README_LONG (30k) ftp://cap.connx.com/pub/chest/README_QUICK ftp://cap.connx.com/pub/chest/README You should be able to download the above URLs with any browser or ftp program. I suspect that Windows ME does happily execute WIN32 executables, so the exe should be directly usable for you. Chest is a console application. For usage and examples please read README_LONG. >Now I am in changing few thing in my mate solver and for this I need some >excellent mate solver as reference.

Is the limit 99 (a) for the number of legal moves in a (single) position, or (b) for the depth of the search? If (a): ok, Chest does better (222) If (b): sorry, Chest is limited even lower (30, with recompile: 63) Cheers, Heiner
