I've played around with this some more and can offer some more info which might help pinpoint the problem: - 2 computers against each other gives the same result after a few moves - the gnuchess process is consuming CPU time - I don't have a memory problem which could cause this slowdown due to swapping - I've left if running for almost 25 minutes with no result. This seems to indicate that something is fundmentally wrong. thanks for any help --> robert PS: What influence does the size of a bookfile have on performace. Should I the 'huge' book file?
