Sure. I think in a month or two my lisp program will be solid/strong enough to make it interesting for people to look at. There's disadvantages to doing it in lisp, mostly in the area of speed. But i think that worst it's a 2X penalty. Hashing takes a bit of thought, because there's generally no cheap "big integer." On to other hand, i think it's easily one half to one third the size of a similar C program, and it also takes a lot less time per line of code. For example, to extract the material balance of the board, using one macro i have, it's just (loop-over-board sum (piece-value square)) dave
