How? I am still fighting for my life in a position

move, I can't resign because it's not my turn, and
I can't lose unless and until another fluke auto-
termination occurs, zapping my rating like before.

It happens sometime that the program keeps thinking forever in such
case Just restart and the Program will make move in time.

Begiiner will take Less than 30 Seconds always.
Easy will take Less than 100 Seconds always.
Normal will take Less than 480 Seconds always.
Master will take Less than 1900 Seconds always.

If any level takes more time than Stated above it means the program
has crashed and its better to restart the game.

This particular position has been restarted
countless times. What happens is this: the
fan kicks on, indicating heavy usage of the
processor (i.e. "thinking"); then, about two or
three seconds afterwards, the fan goes off, as
if the program were about to play a move. But
it never does; it just sits there. It's the same
every time, and because of that I think the
program has somehow found its way to a dead
end.

Like I said, the program is unbeatable now. :D
