I tested Toga II 1.0 too, see my previous posting in this thread, but it took 8
seconds to find Nf4+. I found the explanation: It takes 8 s on P4/3.0 GHz when
you start it from within the complete game notation, after 20.Qe2, and 2 s only
when you start it from the position without game history.

Sometimes it is important to use the complete notation because of possible
repetitions or the 50 move rule, although I think it is not important here.
Therefore the difference of 8 to 2 seconds is surprising to me.

Analysis by Toga II 1.0:
