I have seen Rookie with my own eyes when he had it written in assembly a few years ago. It was *very* fast. Note that he runs basically on non x86 processors. The more complex a processor is the more you can achieve at it with assembly. Getting more nps than fritz is no problem even in C, every good programmer can do that, but obviously it's questionable whether it plays better. Best regards, Vincent
