Didn't something like 70% of Chinook's searching _from the first position_ end in the TBs? In these cases, Chinook was seeing *everything*. Of course, as the game progressed, even more of its searches ended in the TBs. Even though Chinook couldn't see as much as Tinsley in pure search, the TBs probably more than made up for it in this case. Jeremiah
