Impressive!!!

I got the program playing a full game last night for the first time. However, I
managed to kick its butt (giving it 5secs per move cause i cant wait any
longer). Im pretty sure this was only because it made some stupid moves from a
lack of quiescence search and it only has material eval so far.

Even so, it managed to look around 5-8 ply per move which im quite happy with.
