Hi Dann,
I am aware that alot of work has been done with them but I am not aware of all
the tpyes of things that have been tried.

Hmmm when you say reproduce it again Dann what exactly has been done?

I was going to ask you about the time setting Dann.  Perhaps if you can provide
me with some data that has already been generated that might help me decide on a
time.  Basically I would be interested to see the right number of solutions
(from the 300 set) with respect to time.  How is it done?  Does one set a total
time and then see how many of the 300 positions his engine can solve or is it
based on a constant set time per position?  Also Dann in your opinion which
engine seems to score well on the 300 positions and what kind of hardware was it
running on?

Although I will have to give it some thought I am not necessarily interested in
the best engine.  I am more interested I think in finding a time somewhere in
between the best and the worst case scenarios. Will have to think about that.

Thanks,

Les
