No, I haven't done that, and at the moment I don't have any plans to do so. But from I have seen of Fruit's code, the most valuable things to learn are not evaluation terms or search tricks, but rather robust, high-quality C/C++ coding style. This is much more important (and much more difficult!) than most people seem to believe. A stable and bug-free engine is one of the most important keys to success. >I still did not look much at it but I guess that the fastest way for improvement >should be to try to learn from it. I'm not sure, but at any rate I am not looking for the fastest way to improvement. One of the joys of being an amateur is that I can always concentrate on whatever I think is most fun at the moment, without considering whether it is the best way to improve. Tord
