Enjoy,JAFM (37.Q-K7+,sorry. JAFM) That's allot deeper than I can see too. My first reaction to seeing that diagram was that whites move was RxP, but I didn't see a way to keep the King in check for all that time. And one wrong move and white is checkmated as I recall. Is that a hard end for a modern program to see? I can't see anywhere near that many moves ahead. Pete
