Hello Sune, Yes, Dann has explained and Peter further up. It is a strange figure but the point was that it was mate. I expected a "Mate in something" eval not a high figure. Lord King for example shows a high figure but knows (or shows) it is mate. I got a shock because the position is hardly brain surgery. I suppose it can be fixed, which ultimately means that it is helpful. Let me tell you that I/we are seeing as you can see further up some very strange things. It is however a long process because some engines just die when confronted with a position that has too many possible moves. The theoretical maximum amount as of today is 218. If that were built into all engines it would be a start (most die at over 60 possible moves). So we look at all one by one, position by position. It is very interesting. Regards Christopher
