I am not a chess programmer but am a scientist type (engineer and all)... If some (serious-minded) people come here to look for programming related threads one can assume they don't want to sift through hundreds of "off-topic" posts. Time is a valuable commodity. There are enough non-programming threads to keep you (and me) amused. As Don Dailey says, in that case you maybe have rgcc=which is the equivalent of the waterhole in the Serengeti imo. There are no "second-class" departments as you think.. only topics pertinent to chess programming and not pertinent to chess programming. It's binary. Prakash Das
