You can say taht an engine have to play with 5%, 10%, 15%, 20% and so on up to 100% (clear 100% is the main setting). For each UCI / WB engine you can set this option! What do Arena now ... Example: Eng-Eng match with 40 moves in 40 minutes Pro Deo vs. AnMon Pro Deo with 25% and AnMon with 100% Pro Deo will play the game in 40 moves in 10 minutes AnMon will play the game in 40 moves in 40 minutes With other words ... Playing strenght in % = more or less time for the engine! This option is nice but have a little problem :-) This with you posted too :-) Ponder = on is the topic! For ponder = off its work perfectly but in the example with the match ProDeo vs. AnMon, ProDeo have the ponder advantage in the time AnMon is calculating the move and within the playing level ins't really 25%. But the most are playing without ponder and this options is for 95% from all eng-eng fans enough :-) Best Frank
