But the current one is C++ (msc++ or intel c++) with a few inline asm-routines for time critical code (popCount, BitScan with bsf/bsr) and/or using (x)mmx-registers (eg. generating attack bitboards). May be it's fine to use assembler for move generation and domove/undomove. But for search and eval you gain much more readability and maintainability, if you use a high level language like C(++) or delphi. Gerd
