Go up one level in this thread


The main reason for making chess programs run fast is that they have to examine
millions of moves and that all takes time. The faster a program run the deeper
it can examine all of the possible moves on the table. Even if you had the most
sofistecated evaluation routine, you would still want the program to run as fast
as possible to insure that you had chosen the best move available to you program
in the allowed amount of time, reguardless of how deep you searched.
