Yes, I know. That is why I had written "with pondering on" in my
question above. If other people use my program in a match
against others, the chances are that they will play with
pondering on, with a big disadvantage for my program because
it cannot ponder. So I am afraid, I cannot afford NOT implementing
pondering, only so far I don't have a clue how to begin.
Any help would be very welcome.
