Lance, i loaded Thinker 5.1c, which now can have ponder OFF- and now we can test it- presumably. The problem is 4.7a shows depth, kns it is thinking and thinking lines. However, 5.1c, during and after its thinking and move- never shows a depth of more than 1, and never at all shows any kns thinking and never shows any thinking lines. A bit strange when 4.7a shows all the above. It could turn into a problem to test considering the above. I certainly wish it could be fixed.
I can add to that, that the newest version (5.1c) does some kind of pondering. You can see that by turning on the "arrow" option in Arena, there is still some strange pondering going on.
I hope that Lance find it in his heart to look in these matters because I find this engine very interesting. It´s very strong and the exe is surprisingly small

Lance, i dont know if the fact that you showed me 64 bit stats, and i am referring to 32 bit (Active) makes a diff. or not. All i can tell you is that the 32 bit version set to Active shows basically nothing, in chessbase during the game, nor in the game pgn. No depth- no kns- no lines. I dont use Arena, but in Chessbase as a UCI engine it shows you fixed the ponder problem. If you could just take care of these other issues.......
