Dear Vincent, As you mentioned my name in the headline of your message, I feel it necessary to break my silence and at least post a brief reply. You repeatedly prove my earlier characterizations of your style 100% true in this "challenge" text. As usual your arguments run roughly like "X is the best and only because I do it in Diep" and "Y is not possible because it is not in Crafty". I have experienced similar behaviour of you over and over in electronic messages and in direct verbal conversations during the last WMCC. Because of this particular style of yours I no longer deem it worthwhile to discuss technical matters with you. As for your bitboard challenge, there is a simple answer. If you really knew as much about bitboards as you claim to do, you could easily solve the "challenge" yourself. Several independent bitboard experts surely know how to implement what you label as impossible. =Ernst= P.S. Samsung's 533MHz Alpha-21164a CPUs cost about 250 US-$ (estimated street price) which is much cheaper than the current high-end Pentium-IIs/Xeons. Hence, real 64-bit machines are clearly not "beyond the wallet" of ordinary people as you claim.
