When I started my program I expected that it will be also "normal" chess
program. Only my idea (I read nothing before I started programming) was that
every chess program look for mate before looking for everything else. Even now
mate solver is initial part of my chess program. Chess program is in its
unfinished stage with exception of mate solver that work in it.

Cheers,
Leonid.
