Hi Uri,

My hardware is Pentium 4 2.66 w/ 533 FSB. I did the infinite analysis mode in
Fritz 8. Sorry I do not know how to limit which moves fritz can look at. I was
at 1125kn's average. Could you help me with positions that are important for
testing playing strength. I am new at this and would like to post positions but
only ones that are useful to others. If I can understand then that is half the
battle :>)
Thanks for your time.

Richard
