Hi,

perft is an idea how to find bugs in a move generator. You have to write a "full
search" without any cutoffs that counts the number of positions generated. Now
you can compare this number with proven correct numbers. If it differs you have
a move generating bug. Crafty has a perft command that can be used to get values
to compare with.

Greetings Volker
