It is not much harder than Basic (if at all), and your chess program will be more flexible in the end (Visual Basic code is ugly, and does not port well to other operating systems!!!). Buy a nice intro to C book, and you're all set to begin what will soon be your favorite hobby! If, however, you want to write a chess program with a Windows GUI, definately go with Visual Basic as Windows programming in C++ is very complicated. James
