Interesting... the only other place I've heard this type of statement is in the Brutus article. Are you moving away from your array based representation of the board? Also, an interesting comment about being "out of sync" since with most chess evaluation routines this isn't a problem, which I guess implies that you're doing something quite different. Do you regard this re-write as a potential long-term breakthrough? Regards, Steve
