Very good! Still I hope that some kind of basic mate solver will be ready in short time. I do think that many people would like to solve on your solver first usual mate positions before anything else. Too many options in same program will add some complexity when graphics is intended to take it from your program on the first place. I, frankly, would like to see two versions. First inside of Hiarcs, Rebel, Fritz and so like. They should contain basic mate solver as "add in engin". Second, complet, stand alone program with its own graphics for everything that you like to have in it. Cheers, Leonid. >Have a nice day, >-- >Heiner
