Uri, 976 seconds (aproximately 16Min) is a long time for this type
of analysis, eu acho que esse tempo não deve ser superior a 3min
para o seu pentium 200, para a maioria das posições. A probabilidade
do computador perder um lance surpreendente é muito pequena se você
considerar que para uma mesma posição você vai analisar as principais
opções.

Uri, 976 seconds (aproximately 16Min) is a long time for this type
of analysis, I find that that time does not have to be greater than
3min for his pentium 200, for the majority of the positions. The
probability of the computer to lose one surprising move is very small
if you consider that for one same position you go to analyze the main
options. It's tiring, but interesting. I abandoned the semifinais
of the Brazilian championship of postal chess because I had two
options: to work better and play badly, or to work badly and play
better. I chose the last option, but my wife chose the first option.
