Hi, I have a old DEC that I ported my engine to (kinda just to see if it would port nicely). Anyway, when it plays there it gets only about 1500 nps... On fast hardware I am able to draw (and sometimes beat) gnuchess. When I lose it is at least hard fought. On the DEC, though, where searches rarely get past 4 ply, gnuchess _kills_ me. I suppose this is because of superior move ordering in gnuchess (such that the first move it considers is more likely to be a good move?). But I am considering moves in what I think is a good order... Does anyone have an alternate explaination? I ask because it occurs to me that if I can improve the code so that it is competitive with gnuchess on the slow machine, it will improve on faster machines too... Thanks again, Scott
