You can do either, but I'm guessing you're new to MFC, which means you should probably go SDI. MDI is a bit more complicated. I'd definitely rule out dialog based. You don't need to subscribe to Microsoft's "Document/View" architecture, either. There are at least two open source MFC programs floating around out there. The strongest is probably Arasan. Galahad v1.0 (by me) isn't very strong, but it has its own MFC based GUI. http://members.nbci.com/jswaff/galahad If you're more interested in writing a chess program than learning MFC, you may want to just write a console based engine and use Winboard as a GUI.
