The problem is that, unlike you, I am neither a strong chess >player nor a good programmer. hehe, being a strong chess player actually seems to be detrimental for your chess engine :-) and about the programmer: how would you know who of us is the better programmer?? yesterday's result suggests it's you: gothmog 0.4.5 - muse 0.878 29-11 (blitz 1'+5'', nunn2-match).
