Did you test the version that you have of Movei?
Can it play under Fritz without problems?

I do not know what nps it gets with pentium4.

I use code project->setting->code generation->blend
I found that the other options pentium or pentiumpro did not make
it faster for my amd1000 mhz but maybe it make it faster for your pentium4 so I
guess that I will send you more than one exe before the tournament when you can
find the faster code.

I am interested in the speed of your computer for movei(to compare it with my
AMD1000 mhz)

Here is some analysis of movei00_79997 with 64 mbytes hash
How much time does your pentium4 need to get depth 14 with the same number of
nodes?
