It is an absolute must-read IMHO. I learnt a lot from it and it contains information about good books: http://www.faqs.org/faqs/by-newsgroup/comp/comp.lang.c++.html Another way to learn is to study examples of working code. To stay on-topic and make a little self-promotion, if you are going to write chess software then you should take a look at TCB's chess library available for download from: http://www-leibniz.imag.fr/~coulom/ I do not claim it is an example of good C++ style, but it shows nice reusability features of OO programming. Frank Schneider used it to rewrite his new version of Gromit. The recent auto232 adapter I made took me only 2-3 hours to write thanks to it. It can be used to write any other kind of chess tools. Good luck with your learning, C++ is not easy. Remi
