My first chess program is TSCP (now it changes to x88 structure), then I improve
it constantly by learning from books/Internet and many free source codes. The
diffirent chess structures do not allow me to copy any code directly into my
program, but I have to understand first (a very slow process), get idea and
apply it (another slow process). Because of little changing, I could try it any
time and work on some completely different parts.

Even though this method takes me a lot of time and hard working, it brings me
deeper understanding. It is also helpful when I apply to other kinds of chess
(chinese chess - a virgin area for computer chess, and gomoku).
