Now I know how you can afford to do things so inefficiently. >Of course i won't say it is smart for everyone to throw 500 cpu's at it. > >I'll do that for them with DIEP :) You are going to need it too. >Oh by the way in case i didn't mention it.

Ever heard of macros? >I find it very funny to read that most bitboarders first slow down their program I find it very funny that Diep uses a data structure that sucks for anything but putting moves on a list. >in case of Sune to get 30% faster using inline assembly :) If you say no to go 30% faster because you have an adversity towards 5 lines of assembler, then you're a worse programmer than me. -S.
