Perhaps sometime this summer the basic planning engine should be in place, and the picture will become much clearer at that point. But, sometime next month I hope to have a somewhat rudimentary planner running that specializes in the KBNK endgame. It will be a testing platform that will help determine the structure of the real planner. A source snapshot: Chess Toolkit: 40,065 lines (1,236,690 bytes) ChessLisp Interpreter: 19,313 lines (610,901 bytes) Symbolic Lisp files: 461 lines (16,911 bytes) Things would go faster but because of disability issues, as I'm fortunate to be able to get an hour a day of decent output, and that's not every day. Sometimes a whole week will go by without any production. But patience and perserverence, like a water wearing down a rock, should eventually make an effect.
