I used 0.99.87 (very slightly changed, I am pretty sure, it won't make a
difference). I did not release that version for Linux. I have created it, and
sent it to few people by email. I got zero feedback, and did not test it myself.
So, I did not want it to be publically available without any testing.

Anyways, what HT size were you using? Did you set "tb_u 4" (for example at the
yace prompt before you type analyse. Expect lots of HD noise ...; Yace will not
try too hard to find "short" mates, when really good score is already certain.
Som HT luck can also be involved. So I of course think, your result is possible.
For me, it is not much different, from the result I have shown.) Did you use
"bitbases"?

At the moment, I cannot try myself. My keyboard broke. I could not get an old
fashioned PS2 keyboard conveniently. So I bought an USB keyboard - with the
consequence, that I cannot boot Linux anymore. At the time my boot loader starts
(Grub), it seems not to be possible, to stear it by the keyboard anymore. (BIOS
setup works well with the USB keyboard). I was too lazy, to investigate the
problem.

Dieter
