My Chess Tiger 14 solves this solutin with an instant response of 0.00 (draw) but like i stated my Hiarcs 7,32 don't solve it instantly and after 10 min. it thinks the position is a small plus for white showing 1.16, but perhaps if i were using a faster CPU than what i'am using (AMD 266Mhz with 64 Ram) it might find it much sooner. I once again tried this position for about 20 min. and it still won't show a dead draw (0.00) and it just keeps on thinking. I believe that the answer to my problem is exactly as Mr. Walker explained as my Tiger 14.0 always finds the 5 man problems instantly and this isn't the case with my Hiarcs7,32. PS. Please note that my Hiarcs7.32 does find most of the 5 man problems i give it to solve and that this problem seems to be with certain positions with 5 man that are draws!
