Now with Ed's ideas exposed the gap narrows even more. I do not care about it. Free ideas of Rebel+Crafty may help you to get ruffian level but there is a level that is higher than Ruffian. I also believe that I thought mainly about different productive ideas. > >I think in a sport like this there should be _some_ secrets.

I do not plan to copy the ideas as they are but to improve them but I want to understand the exact ideas first and there are parts that are not 100% clear. > >>programmers who use incremental move generator may have more problems to compete >>because they can implement less ideas if they do not rewrite their program from >>scratch. > >Not a problem, I can turn incremental generation off, it's just my movegen is >split in two halfs, I could spilt it in three or none at all, no problem. Maybe for you it is not a problem but for other programmers it is. The problem is not that they cannot do it but the fact that changing their move generator will make their program slower so for me it is a gain with no demage and for them there is a demage. Uri
