However, like you, I prefer C++. It helps me implement and upgrade any thing with time of 1/2 of C. It also brings more freedom to add new ideas because C++ can reduce or hide some technique details. The other thing to note is that if you develop own GUI or utilities, C++ will be the best choice. >have >a method to verify data during runtime, I can easily add new things such as PGN >support without having to "hack" anything into my program, and I can change how >a data structure works internally without it affecting the rest of the program. >So if I chose to go from 0x88 to bitboards, I could do so without having to >rewrite half my program. > >I'm very happy with my choice. > >Russell
