This will force GNU to use the newer time control algorithm which is faster. (PS I'm assuming you have patch level 62 as that is the latest version). As for it playing badly, can you give us examples? There is a bug whereby GNU does not know how to mate when its opponent has the lone king. Other than that, pl62 plays very strong chess. Kong Sian
