I have downloaded List 4.61 and have played a few games against Chessmaster 9000 with it. The time control was G/10 with pondering off, on a PIII-600. I think there must be something wrong, because CM9000 checkmated List in the first game in 19 moves: [Event ""] [Site ""] [Date "2002.8.27"] [Round ""] [White "List"] [Black "Chessmaster"] [TimeControl "600"] [Result "0-1"] 1.e4 e5 2.d4 exd4 3.Qxd4 Nc6 4.Qd1 Nf6 5.Nc3 Bb4 6.Bd2 O-O 7.f3 d5 8.Bg5 Qe7 9.Bxf6 Qxf6 10.exd5 Bxc3+ 11.bxc3 Qxc3+ 12.Kf2 Qc5+ 13.Kg3 Ne7 14.c4 Nf5+ 15.Kf4 Qe3+ 16.Kg4 Nd6+ 17.Kh4 Qh6+ 18.Kg3 Nf5+ 19.Kg4 Qh4# 0-1 In the second game, List gave up its queen early and was mated in 27 moves: [Event ""] [Site ""] [Date "2002.8.27"] [Round ""] [White "Chessmaster"] [Black "List"] [TimeControl "600"] [Result "1-0"] 1.e4 Nf6 2.Nc3 d5 3.exd5 Nxd5 4.Bc4 e6 5.d4 Bb4 6.Ne2 Nb6 7.Bd3 c5 8.O-O O-O 9.Bf4 cxd4 10.Nxd4 Qxd4 11.Bxh7+ Kxh7 12.Qxd4 Nc6 13.Qd3+ Kg8 14.a3 Be7 15.Bc7 Nd7 16.Rad1 Nc5 17.Qe3 Bd7 18.Bd6 Bxd6 19.Rxd6 b6 20.b4 e5 21.bxc5 Nb8 22.Nd5 bxc5 23.Ne7+ Kh7 24.Qg5 g6 25.Rxg6 fxg6 26.Qxg6+ Kh8 27.Qh6# 1-0 In general, List only seems to be thinking for a split second on its moves, only up to depth 3 at most. Is there some special INI setting I don't know about? jm
