>From the opening position, how many times per second can you call your move generator? When writing this reply, i have no access to my program to write the precise number which i dont remember, but its between 1500000-2000000 times per second. I think that's really slow on my Athlon 1800, so the question is:how many calls will I really need when I do for example 9 or 10ply search? >Concentrate on making a working program first, even if it is slow and weak. I wrote that i'm new to chess programming but I have already finished my first chess program, with elo somewhere around 1650 tested on real players. In the end I found it's too slow to try to implement some more complicated algorithms, so now I started writing another program, trying to avoid all those bottlenecks, making sure that i wont have to make drastic changes in those often used algorithms like check and move generation later on.
