I agree that this does not make much sense except for debugging. However, it would be interesting if Crafty could print the current variation (not the PV, but the line searched at the moment) every second, like for instance TascBase, Chessmaster, Rebel and Marvin (my program) do. This information is interesting for the user, and in my opinion also useful for the programmer. You get some idea of what is happening when the program spends a very long time analyzing a single move, and can sometimes help you to improve your move ordering. Tord
