Tom, I am sometime in Chess Club not that much for finding how to write my
program, not even how do it competitive. This I can do alone. This is simple. I
am here mainly to go "gossip"  a little bit about chess programming and verify
some parameters in program. Recently it was about "effective branching factor",
raw speed of certain part of my program, and so like. Sometime it is very easy
to  find what you are been looking for. Like explanation that I found one day
about "extensions", when I even not knew that they existe. Sometime it is not
so. You can talk to somebody and find more about personality of man that about
data that you need. And what I never, ever expected is that this place is so
serious. You must take special care for using only precise, sacred words.
Otherwise, you will be never understood and left in silence.

Leonid.
