One thing you may want to check out is SharpChess, written in C#. You can check out Albert's website at: http://www.albert.nu/default.asp?sub=programs/default.asp?sub=sharpchess/main.htm One thing you may want to consider is going with C# instead of VB.NET. In theory they are very similar, and many cases there is only minor syntax differences. But, if you're reading tutorials, it may be easier to understand and convert C++ if you're going forward with C#... Good luck! Brian On February 12, 2004 at 18:35:48, Andrew Wagner wrote: > Hi all.
