I doubt it. I don't see why everybody gets so hung up on 8000. It's a pretty big
number of things to download to a chip, but in the grand scheme of things, it's
not that great.

I just did a quick run-through of my evaluation function. It has about 1500
weights that can be changed, and it's still pretty bloody simple. In reality, I
would be surprised if it used more than ~200 weights to evaluate a particular
position.
