I tried your program out.  The first two games (lowest level and middle level)
were over fairly quickly (I steamrolled it) so I tried playing it on its highest
level.

I achieved a good position, then missed a tactic that kept it in the game.
Finally, we reached a king and pawn ending (3 pawns each) where I was expecting
to promote before it did, when it *boom* crashed.  The app just disappeared --
no debug log, no game score saved, so I'm afraid I can't give you any details
that would help you figure out what went wrong.

The "hotbabe camera" was entertaining, though it started to get old (after all,
the machine was taking a long time for each move on its highest level).  It was
fun, though, and I hope you continue to improve your program.
