Search: PVS, null-move, singular extensions, hash up to 140MB, dynamic piece square tables, forward pruning, quiescence search, King attack heuristics, null-move pruning, etc. Its endgame knowledge is very varied and rather deep -- no tablebase support for the moment. Less than one year old... And, of course, there are quite a few things to do... BTW, I do not remember Voyager matching your program (Amateur?) on ICC, was it perhaps on FICS where its handle is almost the same (TheMagusX)? Regards, Djordje
