Why does Critter 1.0, when set to do a one ply search (using a Fritz GUI), always report that the score is 0.01? The moves look normal enough. I've never seen this behavior from any other engine.

It does not report anything. At ply 1 it does not send any PV just the best move, the 0.01 score is probably GUI's assumption.

I see. Thanks. I notice that Critter 1.0 is much stronger than Stockfish 2.0 at hyperblitz speeds though they are rated equal at normal blitz on the IPON list. Care to comment on why this is so?

I don't know. My tests are usually 40 moves in 1 min repeating. Maybe SF spends too much time resolving fail-higs/fail-lows at root, which it tends to do more often than most engines.
