Unfortunately I have to work it manually for now. One of the reasons for this
name, by the way. I can't bring myself to code anything not directly related to
the engine.

Pedestrian 0.0 is over 2000 in blitz after first 11 games.
The lack of evaluation function really hurts its opening play :). On the other
hand it found a nice mate in 7 in a less than obvious position.
Seriously - just couldn't wait and started playing before the true eval was
ready (some time this month). For now it's very simple.

thanks for your kind words,
P.
