What you are really asking is "where can I find a >program that is pretty well state-of-the-art _and_ has a simple source. I >don't think you will be able to find such an animal. Simple chess program >is an oxymoron, IMHO. No kidding. It took me 3 hours last night to write and test my diagonal pin code (about 100 lines of code). And I still have to create about 30 test positions to ensure that it will work in "all" cases (king on edge, king near edge, king in middle) / directions. And, I still have to add in diagonal e.p. pins and horizontal e.p. pins (vertical e.p. pins are handled by standard vertical pins). Sigh. KarinsDad :)
