I seem to have gotten SOME improvement by making sure that the time control in list.ini is the same as the time control that the GUI is using. I played a 10-game match between CM9000 and List at 40 moves in 2 minutes. Chessmaster won 7 games, and drew 2, for a score of 8-2. List was reaching, on average, depth 6 or 7 in the middle game, but was not using much of its time at all. At the end of a particularly long game, it had almost four minutes on its clock after receiving four bonus minutes. At least it is not getting checkmated in less than 20 moves like it was before. But it is still not playing anywhere near what other people seem to be experiencing. I think there's still something wrong with either my settings or with the files that I downloaded. jm
