Finally someone agrees with me :) Making my move generation totally instantaneous would speed my program up by 25% I think. I make that an ELO improvement of a little over +20. Big deal. I could get much more than that by just finetuning the positional weightings a little bit. Other things are a little bit more important here, folks, such as the implications of your board representation on your static evaluation functions and in my case, the readability of your code, which bitboards tend to drastically reduce. Can you tell I'm not a bitboard fan? :)) *evil grin* Cheers, Col
