Just a few more seconds may have been enough. > LOL - definitely a great quote . The Searcher result is quite impressive in this position btw - it was _really_ close . Most engines ( including the professionals ) are not so close to having a chance to find that in a blitz game . We were talking a chessgame , looking for the critical spots - is it really necessary to be tame and nice to the amateurs and praise them all the time ? Nope - in fact there are several that are quite competitive with the top of the pops - your program included . You can wait for your fellow programmers to comment on mistakes your engine comitted ( which Horace would probably appreciate ) - will it happen ? pete >11/23 182 13.0 6202790 1.
