I posted my day 2 diary before reading this post. Yes my program is comparable to Crafty in structure - and Marsland's anatomy of a chess program description and tscp. Many _ideas_ are taken from Crafty. And from other publications (eg Dark Thought). And from here. But _my_ implementation and interpretation. No other amatuers do this! Look at the fics/icc/chess.net rating. It is a class below commercials and crafty. That is what my statement of its strength was based on. And from winboard games against CM8000, Crafty, Comet etc. I still believe it is reasonably. Fours years is about correct. I could not even do C when I started. Before some attempts at programming recursive type games (Kalah and connect4, x0x) for BCC micro in basic, decades ago. Frank
