It has earned one of the highest scores for ANSI compliance. I have not used the C++ 5.5 compiler so I don't know what it is like with out the visual part. It has inline assembly but I have alignment problems with my __int64 variables. I put a filler in my program to get them aligned and have some code at run time that tests to make sure they are aligned. If I get my unaligned message, I change the amount of the filler and re-compile. If you are a young person looking for a future as a programmer, then I would pursue the Object-oriented approach to your chess program. Working with objects has and will be the wave of the future for some time. If all you want to do is write a chess program, then the object-oriented approach is still a very good way to do it. Larry.
