We are still coding the legal move generator and the alpha beta-like search engine. However, we did a lot of research before starting and once we get the main components working, hope that our engine will be about 2000 - 2100 the first time out. I think our greatest difficulty will be in coding chess knowledge into the program. We have a few ideas on that, however, this will probably be an area that we ask questions on. Also, I was thinking that there are a lot of coders here. Maybe some of us could help contribute with assisting to get web pages developed if the server issues are merely ones of presentation (as opposed to server configuration). Happy Holidays, KarinsDad
