Really, what i'm trying to do is write a master-level programs that's short,
expandable, correct, and very clear.  Mostly out of my own interest; i have no
aspirations of entering it in computer chess championship tournaments.  Most
move generation, a good chunk of the eval, and some of the U/I is currently only
about 120 lines of code.  Of course, you could argue that LISP makes it more or
less clear depending on you love of parenthesis. :)
