Anyway, it is _much_ more convenient to browse a search tree with a treemap than with any other method I know, and taking a close look at trees generated by my chess program has always been a source of ideas of improvement for me. I won't be browsing through pages of text dump anymore, that is for sure. Besides, I have a lot of ideas for potential improvements of the current viewer. In particular, it could be easily used to visualize the differences between two search trees (for instance, after changing an heuristic, or between plies). I will also add a graphical board in a separate window so that nodes can be more easily identified as the cursor moves over the map. Remi
