Thanks, I have the times to solution of Crafty, YACE and my program (on a K6-II
400 mhz, what's your hardware?). I will post the comparison of all of them.
Rebel times are just amazing (excet the mate in 11!). Unfortunately Vincent do
not care to post DIEP's which seemed to be very good too.

For some reason, Crafy does poorly in this set of positions and Deep Fritz
had problems with one particular position. Very funny. Somehow, I think
that nullmove can create some problems and if you do more things on the qsearch
(checks) it will show here, but it is just a _wild_ guess. DIEP apparently
is solving many positions in less plies than other programs and Vincent claim
that he does several things on the qsearch. Maybe the extensions are important.

Regards,
Miguel
