Hey there,

I've shifted focus from WP7 to iPhone for now. I'm putting C# on hold as I'm finding it very difficult to get the performance I desire. Its just the nature of things, and was really expecting much better results.

Anyways, what source is the Stockfish 2.4 for iOS using? I'm guessing its not the Stockfish 2.2 for iOS Source Code, is it? If not, is the 2.4 code released somewhere? What I'd love to do is look at ways to deepen the search in the same amount of time for a given position. If I can currently go to depth 12 in 10000ms, maybe we can get it to go deeper, say depth 14 in the same amount of time.

Anyways, I wish I had gone down this route before but this all was a learning process, and C# ultimately failed in giving me what I need. I do not know iPhone at all so this will be another learning curve but certainly the performance is just awesome.

Thanks for any info.
