The comparison is completely senseless no matter how you look at it, but you're preaching to the choir here :) I initially tried to test against Deep Sjeng 1.5, but it limits the search hard to the depth that is set with 'fixed ply', whereas Shredder & Crafty still allow extensions/quiescent search. Obviously, this gives entirely different results than when I relax this restriction. And we're still at the same ply depth in the same program :) -- GCP
