And already you beat Ed's program. Nice work. I started when I had an license agreement with Ed which was 9 jan. I think used 80 hours to come up with this, beside this I do my normal fulltime job so I spent maybe too much of my freetime behind a PC screen. In Nullmover I made everything from scratch myself except the EGTB code. In TSCPGothic = I based the Hashing on Olithink 4.11 = I based the SEE Sjeng 11.2. The Olithink code since it is quiet compact. The SEE code of Sjeng because it was the most easy to understand, most well documented, and only mailbox/0x88 code I could find in SEE. I looked in the SEE code of Crafty (bitboards), GNU (bitboards) and Pepito (spanish), Amy (bitboards), Freyer (bitboards) to come futher but didn't succeed well. The Sjeng code helped me a lot to come futher. I think I will understand now the others as well. The following items I have still todo of TSCPGothic: - Piecelists - Better faillow timecontrol - Even more quicker see - Check moves on first ply of QSearch - Fractional extensions Michel
