For months, I've followed the various threads on CCC. I also operate HiddenDragon(C) [Gambit Tiger 2.0], one of the stronger comps on US Chess Live. I've even exchanged emails with such chess programming heavyweights such as Mike Leahy(Bookup), Gerrit Reubold(Der Bringer), and Dieter Buerssner(Yace). I've tried denying it, but now must face the truth... I'm addicted to computer chess!!! This discovery hit me suddenly today. I've been out of college for nearly 15 years. It was back in the day when I first had a taste of FORTRAN, Pascal, and COBOL. I haven't thought much about programming at all since then... until today. Today, at a Friends of the Library book sale in San Francisco, I did something completely out of character for me. For $1, I bought a book titled 'C for Dummies'. That's right... a guy who hasn't looked at a snippet of computer code for 15 years, who can barely navigate thru HTML. I've done it... I've crossed over to the dark side. ed seid operator of HiddenDragon(C) on US Chess Live PS After I speed read thru my 'Dummies' book, where do go from there? Any other good 'C' books, or programming books in general? Of course, the final goal is to program my own chess program.
