Search and you shall find. Ktulu is by far one of the strongest Engines i have seen to date. I think the setting that come with the option text is not the best setup for this program. I have found much much better settings. I consider the below wac problems some of the the hardest around to solve. My Highly modified Ktulu has problems with only one of the solving all others in less than 30 sec's. It even finds the great Zappa move in 7.6 sec's none of my other programs can find problems that quick.

I changed the name to EL-SHADDAI as not to give Ktulu a bad name with the wild setups that i am doing. I still got more work to do but, this program is very very good. Check us out on ICC.
