Cel 433 Genius 5. 2kb hash = 1.f6 switches again to Kxg2 after 44 secs then solves 1.f6 posting + score after 3 min 48 secs. Genius 5. 4kb hash = 1.f6 switches again to Kxg2 after 40 secs then solves 1.f6 posting + score after 3 min 25 secs. Genius 5. 8kb hash = 1.f6 switches again to kxg2 after 1 min 19 secs solves 1.f6 posting + score after 4 min 29 secs. Genuis 5. 16kb hash = 1.f6 switches again to kxg2 after 59 secs then solves 1.f6 posting + score after 3 min 25 secs. Genius 6 times are almost identical. The other engines I think it is pointless exercise !. I just try one other engine MCP8 8kb hash = No solve after 18 mins. Tiger posts a + at 28 secs without going back? Genius picks 1. f6 always but not with a + score which is when it switches to Kxg2 before switching back. Trouble comes for Genius at depth 12/24 when it sees Kxg2 as better. I'll trade yer two Genius's for a Tiger !! LOL. Thanks.
