Actually I tried this with Chest 3.9 and only selected Automatic and told it to
look for mate in 20.  It came back in 2 seconds with mate in 16.  I've not read
any instructions on how to use chest 3.9. so not sure what I should get on my
XP2400.  Also not sure what are the default settings.  I may have changed the
settings before but can't remember.
Regards,
Jim
