This isn't a good way to do these tests, since this will result in false quick solutions sometimes. To get an idea of how often this can produce an incorrect result, I just looked over an ECM dump, my program missed 267 problems (20 seconds per problem on a P6/200), but in 36 of the problems that it missed, it found and held the correct answer for an extra ply, then changed its mind later. A few false correct answers (or even one) in something like LCT2 can change that pseudo-Elo result a lot. bruce
