Very interesting ! Looks like there is lots of terrain for me to investigate in
the land of grammars/compilers :) It is a nice warm feeling !

To be truthful writing a meta-language looks like a great project :) It is kind
of a not-so-explored area where I could add my personal contribution to chess
programming (of course there are CHEVAL written by J.C.Weil and CHE/CHE++ from
Nimzo which are very similar to what I want to do, but not quite the same and
anyway they were pretty much closed source).
