Hello, I just wanted to report a case where Pro Deo 1.1 moved instantly, with only a three ply search. Unfortunately it was a very bad move that threw away an equal position in the opening. I don't know if it is any way reproducible. Pro Deo 1.1 played with the Betazoid T8 personality against Chess tiger 14 in Engine Reasearch Tool, version 0.9.0.7, match Round 14. I have now idea what could have caused this. The only possible clue is that it happened at just past 5.30 in the morning, so maybe some interference with an automatically starting routine? I have very few of those and of course it should not cause a chessprogram to move instantly.
