Thanks for the pointer -- I had never seen this engine before.  Unfortunately,
however, it seems that this engine is made mostly for pedagogical reasons, and
the author has not made any effort to make it fast or strong.  The data
structures are terribly inefficient (for instance, the board is a
two-dimensional
array), and the search and eval is very rudimentary.  It is a short, nice
looking
and easy to read program (only 2788 lines of code), but it is probably very weak
(I haven't tested it yet).
