CORRIGENDA! .The problem is not your engine.. but the engine-engine feature of chessbase (yet another bug?). Don't ask me why but it will make your program (10 min) make that strange alechine defence move and other strange ones. I doublechecked playing without book in regular mode (not engine-engine) and *of course* your engine will reply with regular moves (e5, d5, ...) etc... Maybe you should ask chessbase to fix it - people might think your engine has gone crazy... So now we know engine-engine tests in Junior 32 are NOT at all reliable... Just for your information the test was done with: 8 meg cache books off default options engine-engine mode (hiarcs 6.0-Junior 5) The *crazy* moves were the following: 1. e4 Nf6 2. e5 Ng8 etc... and in another game: 1. e4 Nf6 2. e5 Nd5 3. c4 Nb6 4. c5 Nd5 5. Nc3 Nd5xc3 etc... (This one was strange.. it was playing a "standard" alechine... nothing wrong with humans... but it's funny for a computer to play such an opening.
