Hi Guys

As Steffen mentioned, I am really busy this time, not much time for chess, but
this will change:-)

BamBam

do you know the flintstones, the little boy of Barney with the big club, that is
BamBam. Cause my son, before he was born, also behaved like BamBam (pushing
against the walls very hard) , his "working name" was BamBam (a joke)
The chess Engine BamBam should play as a baby, so I wrote in the authors line
the name of my son.....

Forget changing hashtables in BamBam, it uses as little as possible.
BamBam is pure InmiChess, but I throw out all the nice things. That is it, when
Inmichess behaves as a normal alpha-beta searcher:-), dumb as a club.
But I think it is nicer to play BamBam, than a downgraded Fritz or so, cause
BamBam does his best! He only does not come as deep and is no "tactical
monster".
BamBam on the other side has the full evaluation code of Inmichess in. So
positional, it is as weak (or strong?)as InmiChess, hehe.
BamBam is not thought to get improved to play better. It is just a nice engine
for nice evenings to enjoy.

InmiChess is nearly the same version as the latest Winboardversion. It only is
ported to native engine (was much work cause my code is silly and unreadable).
The time managment should be tested. I am not sure if it works good. No much
games played so far.
Would be nice to get comments.

Greetings

Werner
