Both SCP and TSCP are very basic C programs, and you can get the code for both of those pretty easy. I'd recommend those. Looking at Pascal code is something like sticking your head in a blender, besides, there's a lot more Chess programs written in C, so it's a better place to study Chess program code. Pete
