I doubt I have any repetition detection problem.  However, for each of the
programs can
you give the score for the move _prior_ to finding the correct move?

IE if a program says +.3 then it is _not_ going to want to find a repetition.
If a different
program says -.3, then it will go for the repetition as soon as it is found.
