Thanks

I may do it later.

You can see some games of a version that is almost the last version
in the following page when movei played in the second division.


see http://www.geocities.com/cpf27/page9.htm

It is still a weak program but the games prove that movei have chances against
every program and even a game against ruffian is not a sure loss(Movei drew
against Ruffian and even missed a win in that game).

it's evaluation is very small and it is also still weaker than the top programs
in tactics inspite of the fact that it may be faster in part of the positions.

Today the evaluation includes no knowledge about king safety and no knowledge
about weak pawns or passed pawns but you can expect things to be changed in the
future.

I also plan to improve it's pruning rules to do it better in tactics.
