I'm not that happy about running this "DistributedPerftClient.zip" in my computer, though. The ratio logarithm of depth to time is roughly linear, at least up to depth 8, so if you give me a FEN position, and a reasonable depth to calculate , I could come back to you with a figure in about 24 hours. I estimate that I need at least 2 hours for a perft 8... and maybe much more as the game develops (a perft 9 wouldn't let me use my computer for days). I have an Athlon 1800+, and I use Movei because it is quite fast for perfts. If you know a faster one, let me know, because otherwise the "four" computers that you have used for your figure are about 4 or 5 times faster than mine!!! Regards, Jaime
