Hi Guys! I have seen LAZY EVAL referenced here and RGCC a few times and am not sure what it is. Could someone give a brief explanation please? I also FINALLY got a working program going thanks to the excessive help of James Long (Tristram author). I have a long way to go and am finally able to understand better the sources I have - crafty, tristram, minimaxe, TSCP, etc. that I have. I'd just like to thank JL openly for his patience, help and suggestions. I'll most likely be asking more advanced questions as I progress, but I have a huge list of stuff to do now just to get the program decent and stablized. Anyone have an suggestions? I basically have SEARCH working finally (based on Tom K's NEGAMAX C source) and my evaluateposition() function is based ONLY on material and a simple center table. THis needs alot of work obviously. Also, I need to add in some form of move scoring in the move generation phase so I can get some form of order to my search. Any suggestions beyond MVV/LVA? For those of you running sites re: chess porgramming - KEEP IT UP! I am learning quite a it just by reading the overview of your rpograms. Same with thsoe releasing openly your chess programs. I LOVE reading the tech aspects how-to's - what I do's, etc. Also to those releasing source - make sure you keep up the comments! Tristram and Crafty are two of the best commented sources I have seen. Thanks to all that helped me in the past (BH, TK, DT, JL, BM, ...) FTR, I searched Springer-Verlag ( http://www.springer.ne ) for CHESS SKILL IN MAN AND MACHINE and they claim they have two editions available. A 1983 edition ($53 USD) and a 1984 ($30 USD) edition. Anyone know the diffs? I asked them, and they've yet to reply (been about a week). Off I run - we are raining hard in Southern California - Ed
