who on earth is the the guy who wants you to write a chess program in labview??
i use labview a lot (i'm a physicist, postdoc). there is nothing like labview to
create programs which you can use in a lab - for some reason it's called LABview
- you get a user interface with a few clicks,  the data acquisition with one
small box, and the data analysis with another box. i love labview! i also
program checkers, but in C. writing a chess program in labview seems like trying
to eat a banana with knife and fork to me - i know there are people who do it
that way, but it sure seems awfully stupid to me. go to your supervisor whoever
he/she is, and tell him that you are either going to program chess in C, or
something else in labview. this is just ridiculous! if he doesnt believe you,
the best thing you can do is to get any winboard engine, read the winboard
protocol, and use labview to write a front-end to it. which still is pretty
ridiculous,  but not so much. labview is for data acquisition, analysis and
display. not for chess.
