Please look at Crafty source for these extension types. These >have been for years now. [snip] I won't contradict your assessment, but I have a question. If the position is as straightforward for a computer to solve as you say it is, why do Fritz and Junior take about seven and nine minutes respectively to do so? Maybe they shouldn't take so long (if it's as simple as you say), in which case this might indicate that some improvements need to be made; and so the position is interesting after all! Do you know any programs that solve it at the drop of a hat? Cheers, Mike.
