The ponder search will pick a move for the side to move (which may or may not be the best), and then ignore all the other moves. In fact it analyses from the other side's perspective as if that move were made. >>>Dave >> >>I suggest you read the file 'crafty.doc', it has a full description of all >>available crafty commands. > >I have read it before.

'analyze' will analyze the current position, and will let you enter moves (it will analyze the new current position then). >>José. > >Dave
