Hmm, I realize that wasn't very helpfull in itself, so I'll clarify: There is no single thing you can fiddle with and make your program suddenly a lot stronger. It's a process of making steps. Big steps. Small steps. Sometimes you need to make small steps before you can make a big step. Prioritizing may be the issue. A good method is to try to determine why you are losing games. Are you constantly missing tactics other people see? Are you getting attacked and crushed? Are you blowing endgames? Fix the weakest link. When you are not progressing as good or as fast as you'd like to, it helps to take a step back and consider not just your engine, but the whole process of working on it and see where improvements can be made. -- GCP
