You are right. I have not considered speed much at all while programming. My idea is to get the program entirely correct with all the features i want, then to worry about speed if it's still not playing as well as i hope. But, i am not intending it to compete against the likes of crafty and yace, but just to play well ( 2200-2400 ) while being short and clear. I think i can do that in under 64K of non-obfuscated source code, but i'll see.. > >If you think about adding evaluation then my opinion is that mobility is the >most important thing to add. I need to try that--i currently don't consider it at all, but i know i should.. dave
