I had been wanting to use threads for input for a year now but didn't know enough about it to attempt it. Your code worked flawlessly in my engine (TRACE) straight off the bat. You will certainly be getting full credit when the next version is released (soon). Thankyou so much!! BTW, is Kiwi a new NZ engine? If so, then what is it with NZ chess engines? They come to Australia and keep on winning our championships. :-) Cheers! Ross
