Do you agree? Part of a good chess program is the opening book. It's just part of the whole. The fact that one game was played entirely in book doesn't make the program any less of a chess program. btw, hash tables are also "lookup catalogs." They just have been created rather more recently than books. >I like you, am interested in creating a better chess platform and the more I >learn about programming and stratagies, the better. >My intent was to propose a new way of testing, not to insult anyone.
