Last night :-) I decided not to have any maximum of legal moves in my program. Or more probably I set it to very high number ... say 500. (It doesn't cost much in my program.) I think that a working version will be ready in the end of this year or in January. It will be freeware, and I hope it's much stronger than Nero. I decided to name it Alex. (My favorite player is Alekhine.) In order to not 'blaspheme' him I'll not use version number of 1.0 but something less. (E.g. Version 0.03) The other name I thought for it was 'Blackout'... :-) My idea(?) is to search some plies full width, and after that take into deeper consideration couple of the best PLUS some moves, which didn't show high scores but were interesting. ( ?!- and !?-moves. ) After I have finished with this, I think I could start to learn how Crafty is done... I _have_ to_ do it first in my way. Many not-so-serious chess players have had nice time with Nero. I hope that there will be use for my new product too. Jari
