I agree.  And of course I read them all, I need all the help I can get.  ;)

Well, I stated that in the first post.  It's just a *lot* more work.  Crafty's
eval will (more than likely) require a bigger FPGA, which of course, is more
money, and more work.  I just didn't want to start out there.  However, I would
rather do a little more work and get a much better result.  I think!

Of course not!  I will do SOME kind of implementation of HW with a chess
program.  And it *will* be playing on ICC before Christmas.  I promise.  ;)
