It took the ideas presented in Crafty's bitboard implementation of SEE and wrote one for Screamer which uses a mailbox approach. It is not as computationally 'free', but the improvement in move ordering I think is worth the expense. I will email you the code if interested. It is the same ideas without the advantage of bitboard ease of move selection and generation. William wbryant@ix.netcom.com
