Maybe I have to give it another change. Generating these Tb's is an very interesting subject. Maybe I have to write at first myself an generator so I understand your code better.... I have another question: -I noticed someone else also generated KQQKQQ (I remember it was stiller like you above mentioned) and there was some incorrectness between your and stiller's version. Is still difference in Tb already solved? If I check the date of the files at bob's ftp site I think you have survided an correctness attack?!? It seems to be you are very hot in breaking the mate record. So maybe in a couple of weeks/months you have done it ;-) Regards, Michel Langeveld
