Maybe Martins did, that's fine, but >certainly not these 4 positions that Bob ran. 1) i didn't test anything myself, i only used logfiles bob made publicly available 2) bob's logs are AFAIK all for normal null-move search on, no comparison between null-move and non-null-move search. so my tests don't even exist and they don't disprove anything :-) in fact, the point of my excercise was to show how things should be done, by quoting errors instead of flaming each other... cheers martin
