I am not denying the fact that you started from scratch or that you have written
a chess program.

But you are clearly confused about how to write a competitive chess program,
which prompted my suggestion about TSCP.

If your goal is not to write a competitive chess program, then I suggest you
stop posting on CCC. Nobody can understand your posts, and you do not act on any
suggestions; the net effect is that you are creating confusion and ill will.

If your goal IS to write a competitive program, you need to start paying
attention to people. As is, you are getting lots of good help from people, and
it's all going to waste.
