I seem to : recall an article by J. Schaeffer (sp?) some (actually many) years : ago in which this was asserted (and there were also some experimental : data given to back this up). Is this true? And if so, why is the : killer heuristic still in Gnuchess? Unfortunately I don't have the journal with me right now (its at home). Its an ICCA 1984 article. If I'm not mistaken, the history heuristic is used in supplement to the killer heuristic, not to replace it. Perhaps someone else can confirm this. Anyway, I'll go home and read it again and clear this up. Kong Sian
