The GOOD thing about TSCP is that it is doing a computer intensive task (playing chess) and was not, unlike most other chess programs, written for speed (i.e. doesn't try to use c orientated tricks to speed up the app). This means that unlike Crafty it is MUCH easier to create a comparable Delphi version. The idea is to see if there is any real significant difference between Delphi and 'VC'. My conclusion is that Delphi is at the most 10% slower than VC for a task such as chess. Regards, Steve
