Exactly. If u input the position in Fritz in analysis mode, Gandalf 6.0 finds the mate in single variation mode, but not in multivariation mode. This looks like a bug for an engine that is said to be very good for analysis. Thx for the answers and thx to the author. Saludos On December 03, 2004 at 11:50:12, James C.
