But I "claim"(oh, you won't believe), that I had a working chess program without looking at any info, the "minimax" I founded myself how do a recursion to calculate the move, and also the "alpha beta", I had a lot of bugs, for example as I had the alphabeta implemented with the limit values in class arrays, were easy to do mistakes but later when seeing all the examples with alfa and beta as parameters of the function I did it too. Also I were scoring moves and acumulating the score(stupid things, lets say move a pawn to the center, move a horse more near the centre, move rooks to e1/d1/e8/d8 :), castle, move forward or backward etc because I thunk a scoring of a chess position would be too much time expensive, but off course the "sharing info" convinced me inmediately to implement the eval function.) The hashtables thing is also great and much other things and this forum also and I say thanks:thanks
