Thanks! Hope it will someday be a strong program too. :-)

It doesn't allow takebacks.

First I'll make it a stronger player. After some improvements in playing, I
could add next that saving games feature. And setup positions. And when so
many others than you seem to want mouse support... it'll be there some day.

Currently I'm trying to find out how it would be best to calculate captures
and forced lines. (Which are searched deeper than other moves.)

In capture searching I'm trying such thing that I search captures (and
pawn promotions) to the end. To the depth where I don't find them more.
But I don't search pawn captures deeper than current depth, just the more
valuable pieces. So far it has seemed to be a good change. In Nero anyhow...
So the next weeks update will be a little stronger.
