I've noticed a few times that gnuchess (v4 p63) will take quite a while to
move even when it has only one legal move. This situation doesn't often occur
of course, but occasionaly, in an endgame, there is a series of moves with
only a single reply which the program wastes quite a bit of time on. Would
it perhaps be worth forcing the program to move immediately in these 
positions?

Excellent chess program btw. I'm not so sure it needs improving - it's 
annoyingly good as it is.
