A little experimentation suggests that my "analyze to ply N" was a bad idea. Since Crafty has a "time cpu" option, anyway, the main motivation for this is moot, anyway. What my experiments pointed out was, the time per ply is pretty unpredictable for a given position, that is, even knowing the time for the first N ply (which was my idea for trying to attack the "unpredictable time" problem), predicting time for ply N+1 seems to be tough. Looking over a batch of 30 endgame positions, MacChess time factor going from ply N to ply N+1 varies from 1.11 to 30!! Richard A. Fowell
