If it was part of the general program it would eat up CPU time in the background, that would screw with the general strenghth of Rybka. I think the real use of this tool is if it can avoid the "false positives". It is easy to tune for finding combinations, but weeding out the AM moves with deep tactics is the hard part for Vas. So, I'd suggest letting loose a enormous bunch of avoid moves on the winfinder and see how it does! Actually such testposions I would be interested in too, especially if they are checked. I know the Swiss test, but it is only 64 positions that are more for testing general programstrength. I think with a couple of hundred positions, each tested for a minute or so, such a test would be more useful. Eelco
