If you've a group of test positions for which the best moves are known, there are many other techniques that will give quicker and better results, at least in terms of matching the training set. OTOH, you could be arguing as I (meant to have) said earlier: GA doesn't work well at all for chess. In that case, we are totally in agreement :) Pat
