I say "IMHO" often because I'm merely a "user" here at CCC and not a "real" chess programmer. [Users are not supposed to be experts at chess software. Hence, they have to say IMHO a lot.] You might say I'm making a concession of sorts. It is conceivable that someone new to CCC may not know what IMHO means. Indeed, some may not know what CCC means! The number of acronyms used on the Internet surely must create a lot of confusion for newbies. Bob D.
