Hi Jouni,

that´s really one problem, I´m also not very happy about with my ChestUCI.
But the original ´Chest´ does NOT output ANY informations while thinking,
and so also my UCI-interface has absolutely no chance to inform the GUI about
the progress of the searching :-(

If you really have no idea of ´how many moves to mate´, maybe it could help
to start with a moderate number of ´SearchDepth´ (e.g. 5, 6,...) and increase
this number by one whenever no mate has been found. So you could at least
get ´some´ idea, how long the next calculation step would need.

Maybe in the next version Heiner Marxen will implement ´some´ output info
while thinking - at least the actual search depth would IMO not slow down
the reallly fantastic seach speed.

Regards,
Franz.
