Thanks!

I have added a BMI2 compile - hopefully it is actually faster (I haven't tested).

Many thanks!

Any chance that Laser can PONDER in near future? IT's a pity that such a strong engine cannot do that...

Or do I miss something?

Hi Wolfgang,

You are correct, Laser does not have ponder ability yet. I will work on adding this for the next release.

Thanks, nice!
