Don't know much about p-chess, sorry. >I know there are quite a few other better supposed AI programs--What Are they-- >Where are they?? You can find them with a web search. SAL is one example. NN chess programs are pretty infantile right now. Of course, if you consider Alpha/Beta pruning as AI (and in a real sense it is) then almost all chess programs are AI programs. >Do they have source code available? Some do, some don't. You can get the source for SAL, for example. Several others also. On standard PC hardware, AI chess programs are not that great. Free programs like Crafty and Phalanx will whip their tails. Even GNU chess will beat them. Look at the web links available from this site. You will find lots of interesting stuff.
