I did not learn most of the source code in crafty and I am afraid that if I try
to change something that I do not understand I may have bugs(I have bugs even
when I try to change something that I understand).

I guess that I may get more positive responses also if I improve movei and make
it better in tactics than crafty(It is already better than crafty in many
positions inspite of not using hash tables in an efficient way).

It may be better for the long run if I do like miguel and start by changing the
source code without improvements to do it more easy to read but doing it better
is a task that seems to be more interesting for me.
