It wasn't allowing itself any time to think about the moves! Once it starts, use the "clock" command to set the time it allows itself to 0:01. That lets it think about moves for only one second, far too short to do any real damage to you. There are also options to disable the hash (less moves checked per unit time), disable book openings (no known good moves to rely on), and disable "thinking on the player's time". My system uses the book but cannot think on the player's time (it's a web system, and it doesn't *run* when the player is thinking), and allows you to set the "think time".
