Subject: Chess programming FAQ

Hi Guys!

I would like to suggest a chess programming FAQ. I know, it am
volunteering work for others, but it seems this would be a GREAT
advantage to all chess programmers. Instead of having to rely on one
person coming up with a book, I would like to suggest that anyone
interested submit articles to a CP-FAQ commitee or designee for review,
then it could simply be added to a collection of article kept in alarge
zip file.

For example, something like this is done for CLAX, the x86 assembly
language news group. It's called ASM SNIPPETS and has a HUGE collection
of source files, articles, etc. re: x86 assembly programming. This
allows different aspects of similiar topics to be expressed, and I've
found it invaluable in the past on many levels.

The topics could be broken down easily into categories (perhaps) and
psuedo code (or real code) exampel could be given.

Just an idea, and I appreciate reading all the helpful replies and
suggestions by the top enders, but sometimes I simply cannot follow the
reply because it assumes a certain level of chess programming
understanding already.

Finally, I just wanted to thank ICD for this great little 'moderated'
chess message area. I really got turned off by the arguing and name
calling and childishness in RGCC. This message group is far more
interesting and well behaved.

Thanks, Ed
