I play against phalanx on linux like so: xboard -fcp phalanx -tc 1 -mps X -ponderNextMove false -size Medium tc sets the timecontrol (1 minute in this case). MPS sets the moves per timecontrol. Phalanx, rather foolishly does a pure division. So you can set the effective timecontrol to something like 10 seconds per game. If I set -mps to 250 on a Celeron 1.8 Phalanx gets 4-5 ply, and I score about 40% or so IF I manage to not get sucked into its bullet chess :) anthony
