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.
