What might sell a bit better though is a book, which explains to technical interested chess players, how a chess program works in the inside. This book would explain concepts like general mini-max, alphabeta enhancement and stuff like null-move. Also how an engine evaluates positions and stuff like that. Even things like history heuristics and killer moves could be explained. (of course with lots of examples to illustrate the stuff) But no program code. Sargon
