Thorsten, I see you constantly post about knowledge and search speed as if it is completely separate, there is some reason to believe you do indeed partition this stuff into black and white. Generally you seem to view speed contempously and knowledge with warmth. But this is only my general impression, forgive me if I am wrong here. I like to view a chess program as a "black box" that spits out moves. We don't care what happens inside the box, and whatever happens there is hidden from view. A good question for all of us is could we really tell the difference if we could not see node counts, iteration numbers and claims of speed. What if all we saw as output was a move? Could you identify the fast programs? - Don
