Alphabeta does not allow to do this without a huge slowdown.
I think I'll add a much bigger book, so variety will come from the book. That's
how the PC chess programs do it.
And you are right, there will be 400MHz Palms as well. Stuart needs to
understand that Palms and PocketPCs are going to use the same processor family.
The advantage of the Palms will be their better (less power and memory-hungry)
operating system.
