Do you think it is possible or do you know it is not? It is really this bit I like anyway..... "Diep doesn't search on in illegal positions." This is not to say that VD is not a good programmer. Every engine I know of supports some kind of illegal position, how many and of what type is the only point of contention. Diep is not public, so who cares? Unless of course Vincent would like to put his money where his mouth is and release a version...... I hate private engines that are spoken about as though everyone should believe their programmers about their capabilities. Show the bone is what I say.....let's see. That is my challenge to Vincent......I wonder if he has the bottle, you see we break engines for a living and take a peek inside as you know. Ready when he is....... ;-) Christopher
