Hi Albert,

Over the past few months I've been tinkering with #Chess -- it's been a good
learning experience so thanks for posting the source!

C# is indeed a bit slower than unmanaged C++, but a bit "easier" to develop in.
I'm trying to get #Chess to work as an engine in Pocket Grandmaster -- not sure
if this will be possible but it's been interesting to try (different interface,
not winboard).  In theory moving platforms should be very easy, which is an
attraction to using .NET.

I'd be surprised if we ever saw commercial engines use .NET.  Are there any
other amateur engines out there for .NET?  Do you think you'll ever continue
development on #Chess?

Thanks,
Brian
