Well, I repeat something I have already written. There is no need to tell the GUI which ponder move is intended to answer. An unfair GUI will have the chance to give that information to a friendly engine. A pondering machine should be free, what it is doing with the in between time. It could use it to calculate an answer to its internal ponder move, but e.g. also build up temporary tables and hints. It should be up to the engine itself, to what it would use the calculating time. Thus communicating ponder moves is to restrictive and overmore could be misused. Reinhard.
