One line takes one minute to reach 8-ply, seven lines takes three minutes (these timings are close to precise). One factor may be that the ChessBase screen updates are _incredibly_ fast, quite the fastest I've seen -- and one reason it's a gas to watch! So I would imagine the graphics (text) overhead would be considerable, and certainly it's nowhere near taking seven times as long. Francis
