That point is much further down in my TODO list. Besides the numerous details of PGN (Chest does know EPD, but not yet PGN), one problem is, that a complete solution tree can become _SO_HUGE_ that it would not even fit onto any disk. So, how to select, what to include, and what not? Clearly, the PV shall be there. But exactly what else? >Thanks for your marvelous mate solver ! ;o) :-)) Cheers, Heiner
