Computer testing PG problems


I have employed Popeye Vers. 4.69 to test my PG11.5 (with Masand condition) and it is still solving after 14 hours!( It took 1hr.30 mins for a PG4.0-Masand!). Can any Retro friends please tell me if there is any other software that is speedier or if possible help me test the problem?

Both Euclide and Natch can test almost any orthodox proof game of a reasonable length (sometimes up to 30-35 moves). However, neither of them can test fairy proof games. Popeye is your only hope for your fairy proof game, as far as I know. Depending on the fairy condition, be prepared to spend many hours for very short fairy PGs (6-7 moves) and days or weeks for a couple more moves. Although I have been able to test with Popeye a much longer fairy PG (15.5 moves), it was only because the fairy condition was very suitable (double maximummer). For Masand, I would be surprised if you could go over 7-8 moves, unless you spend a very long testing time.

Thank you, Prentos. Popeye is still working on my PG11.5!
