There are several reasons why you got a stronger 15.20. But let's look at "plain" search strength. Did you run 'bench' on 15.20 and 16.8 to make sure that both engines run roughly the same amount of nodes/second? It is possible that 15.20 has been compiled with /Oa and VC++ 5.0 SP3. Until SP3 of VC++ 6.0 got released, Microsoft was "able" to sell a broken version of /Oa. It seems to be fixed in SP3. This little difference makes your code run 5% faster. Gregor
