This is one of the reason that I decided to develop my chess program. A similiar idea that is more general is clearly in my things to do but it is not at the top of my priorities and I do not work a lot about my program so I guess that it is not going to happen in the next weeks. It is probably better if first I improve my programming skills by reading the book that Migual suggested. Uri
