Go up one level in this thread


It seems there are a couple of areas which are acting together to make my engine
s--l--o--w.

1. Move ordering [dont we all need better MO]
2. Fairly conservative forward pruning [R=2 and safe delta margins in futility
etc]
3. The extensions are unimpeded and can get a little crazy **
4. I use a true 3 rep detection [no 2 rep stuff] **
5. searching ALL checks in quies() **

It may be, that the last 3 are working together against me [a conspiracy? 8-o]

Thanks for your patience. I'll try to be more calm from now on ... ;-|
