Go up one level in this thread



I have had similar experiences.  I couldn't really figure out what was going on,
but it seemed to be that if I yanked the batteries and reset it, the problem
would go away - only to reappear again later.  It annoyed me enough that I
stopped using it entirely (I am bad at chess, but not THAT bad..).  I'd be
interested in any solution anyone else has found.  If you set it to play with a
fixed search depth, it behaves better (while still being 'easy'), but then it
moves in more or less constant time.  Pretty disappointing.  I guess they didn't
work too carefully on the parts of the program for us patzers...
