Nathan,

My chess playing is only 1200 on ICC personally.

My Chompster program however fluctuates between about 2100 and 2400 - depending
on how many bugs and new (bad) ideas are in there.

If you are a good player, your eval function might be smarter quicker.

I learn chess by watching my program lose, writing some more eval code so it
sees the trap that it lost to last time, and we both get smarter.
