If you mean me, by "Dieter": I beg your pardon. It is not true that I am optimizing for one specific processor. On the contrary, I try to only use portable ISO C. My engine worked well on Atari ST, VAX, some MIPS (under IRIX and VMS), x86, and probably more, I forgot at the moment. Before I included the TB-access code of Eugene Nalimov, it even worked well with 16 bit compilers. My engine at the moment does not use any inline assembler. Perhaps some high level constructs are inspired by looking at assembly output of some compilers - but not only from one platform. I never did a "fulltime job" for my chess engine ... Regards, Dieter
