Nothing beats deeper searching. 2200 on FICS with MiniMax counting material only? That is crazy! One of us is wrong, and hope it isn't me because I've spent many hours on my engine and it still is now way near 2200 in anything other than Lightning! If you're right I'm probably the worst chess programmer ever, or have missunderstod your message completely. /Regards Albert
