Why do the pawns in a and b files are more better if opponent castles queen side? Maybe I did not get your statement above. > >I also think that it may be a good idea if someone writes a book that describe >the evaluation of the top free programs in a way that it is easy for humans to >understand it. As I have observed here, most programmers or maybe all of them shared their ideas not for other people but for natural programmers (basically). The great Ed has come close, but still his intended audience are already those who knew programming (naturally). I also believe that learning the hard way is more sweeter. Read, create, test, evaluate, back to reading, more reading. Regards, Dinan > >I think that it may be more productive for computer chess than all the source >code of chess programs. > >Uri
