Terra selects Kd6 between iteration 2-5 after that I get Ke8 until iteration 10 and after that Terra switches to Kd6 again and sticks to that. It takes about 21 seconds on my PII 300Mhz. This is only one position and it's easy to find others where it's a disaster to centralise the king. I can't lower the punishment for Kd6 further, I think. //Peter
