I did not work about it in the last monthes.
I may work about it in the future but I do not promise.

I decided that a better idea may be before starting my chess engine to work on
changing TSCP to do it faster(I did not use copy and paste but printed the
source code of TSCP and changed parts that I did not like abd copied only parts
that I understood and liked) but I also stopped to work about it in the last
month.
