This is a final 4-ply evaluation extension. You must still have the Rebel engine decide what positions to hand off to the chess processor, and you must code different ply levels for Rebel's evaluation dependent upon processor speed. You must download the tunable weights, etc. But it does sound like Hsu would have at least one outlet for his product, should he decide to market it. kp
