Due to the internal 24-way symmetry (4! = 24), krrrrk should be slightly smaller than krpkr. The longest mate is much shorter so generating krrrrk should require fewer iterations than generating krpkr; this counter-balances the increased branching factor. Generating krpkr on an 1333 Athlon took roughly 2 days; I would expect krrrrk also to be do-able in a couple of days on a decent machine. Or does Nalimov's code process each krrrrk position 24 times on each iteration? Simon
