Why 10,000? I had to take it under 100 (<1%) to be able to beat it myself - I am about a 1600 player. I can beat Crafty when I set the command around 50 or 0.5%. The intensity command take the time to search and multiplies by i(v)/10000 - keeping the minimum to 1 obviously. But it then saves the move, and goes into a loop for the remaining time (so it will not play instaneously - giving the users appearance that it still thinking) It's pretty neat when you use it - you can set game for 60 minutes - set the intensity to 50 and it will use 3 minutes for the entire game for thinking and the rest of time it will be in a loop as if it was thinking the entire time. And you will get 60 mniutes for your side and you get to ponder while crafty is in the loop. When you use this command, ponder is set to off automatically, Email me with the word include to get on the distribution list. best, Michael Byrne mfbrne_pa@msn.com Michael
