I shall be only too happy to receive any and all criticism about my model.
Since I am just gathering and benchmarking algorithms and data structures at
this point, I am still in the design phase.  The old saying is, "Measure twice
and cut once."

If there are serious flaws in my model, I would love to hear about them and be
only too glad to receive them.  There are literally dozens of experts here who
know a hundred times more about chess programming than I do.  I would not be
surprised if my ideas have already been tried (although I have not seen them
published anywhere).

One of the main reasons I want to talk about my ideas is so that the chess
programming experts here can tell me what a drooling idiot I am.  Then, I can
wipe the spittle off of my chin before it gets on my necktie.

Any good idea will withstand criticism.  And the criticism will make it better.
By making observations about the flaws, I can:
0.  Fix the problems by following the advice given
1.  Fix the problems by my own new ideas
2.  Partition off the problem area into a separate design change
3.  Change my approach altogether

or something else.  In any case, I hope that those that know better will tell me
every stupid flaw my plan contains.  Tell me the limits I will face.  Tell me
the places where it fails.  Tell me the fundamental errors in my thinking.

"Beat me!  Spank me!  Make me write bad checks!  But please respect me!"
;-)  Sorry, I got carried away there.
