I would have found it much >faster if I'd known! ... just kiddin' ... :) I was actually tricked by myself. I did expected that this position was very difficult since I could see that it was solved by very slow selective and only at 13 moves. 13 moves at large default setting (I use it before searching by much easier solution) took 13.5 minutes to solve. When I looked into 11 moves selective solution its paramether indicated that solution was almost simple. >>Selective in 11 moves was solved in 18 seconds. Usual setting. > >Not bad at all ... you really should implement hash to get a bit faster though >... ;) I do expect that one day I will come back to my programming. At least, this last week I had plaintly of work and it could be that needed second computer will be not that long to wait for. Still 64 bits gadget will be ideal to start with. I am sure that when new, 64 bits, computer will arrive chatting of people here will be very animated. Too many things to redo, or write from scratch.
