I remember testing CM5000 years ago on a 386DX-33 and being amazed that it could solve it in about 15 seconds... Now its trivial for the top engines. Its really worth playing the solution out... the final position is amazing. My humble engine TRACE solves it on a P3-450 in about 90 secs. But its getting better. :-) Ross
