I don't see anything one could do here - it is too late. It is also likely, that if you remembered that position that gave you the 3.2 score, and you hardcoded it for a 0.0 score, you'd get some slightly different PV, again with a 3.x score. Perhaps again leading to a TB draw, perhaps to a win. You'd only know it, if you'd probed during search. BTW, It is only one probe, because only the first time your reach a TB-position in the PV is interesting. Regards, Dieter
