This can be verified if he posts his engine date, file size and >exact hash table settings. Probably not the chip. You would expect incompatibilities to result in crashed software, not different selection of chess moves. If you use a different version, or a different hash table size, you may see play that is different on an individual move. Both versions "consider" the move, but one selects a different move early on and sticks with it. bruce
