I have printed out your instructions and will now have access to learn this system - but I still like short algebraic better! By the way, you may be interested to know that I tried this position on my Hiarcs 7, Fritz 5.32, and Rebel 10. They ALL selected Bd4 as the move. The time difference between them was relatively small: Hiarcs 7 was the fastest at 4:25, Rebel 10 was second at 5:22 and Fritz third with about 5:45. All were set at 40/2. I wish that people would include the time level and associated hardware - including Hash Table MB when reporting their findings. Mr. Monkman apparently has some problem running both Fritz and Hiarcs to get such a slow time for Hiarcs, 50 min. versus 4:25 for me, and not even getting Fritz to play Bd4. I believe this may have to do with the computer and Hash Tables. Kind regards, Mel
