So you want a program made in LISP which also is good?

Hard question. For its time it wasn't bad, but considering the
hardware it ran at (486 equal speeds) it was very poorly of course
as it could only solve a few positions from WAC and apart from
solving it could do nothing.

Paradise, pardon me if i say it a bit wrong, wasn't a brute force
searcher like we do today. Basedupon LISP knowledge rules (completely
unreadable, i have a hardcopy of all these rules on paper, it's a 100
pages or so) it tried to figure out which moves to try.
