Do you think a simple, >open source engine such as TSCP is more likely to be deterministic? It might be better, but it will be still there. >Or does the issue of time cause undeterministic behavior no matter what? i.e. >maybe a background process (system process, firewall, antivirus, etc.) randomly >takes enough CPU time away from a chess engine to cause nondeterministic >behavior? That is more likely the case but we will never know for sure. I am doing a lot of testing with some top engines in different GUIs at the moment and it is a fact that you have a "strange" move from time to time which is not reproducable. Bye Ingo
