But there is always an option to ask me again, when things seem to be unclear. Imagine that I have to make similar efforts when I try to understand the explanations of others. I am not patchworking published computer chess program source codes. I could argue with the same right than you for others that they would use a strange terminology, but I don't. And probably some of my solutions might be different and need another vocabulary. To your example: "Smirf erzeugt voll informierte Züge" here I want to explain, that the generated moves would include a lot of details like: a) - legality (only legal moves generated) - threating check (including direction), double check or mate - promotion info (new piece code) - e.p. info - capturing info (flag) - Pawn special double move info (causing enabling e.p. after moving) - castling info (including changed Fischer castling rights) - covering the complete extended capablanca piece set and 8x8/10x8 boards (incl. Chancellor + Archbishop) b) - preevaluation with MVV/LVA, checking killer- and optimal moves and moreover including a slight positional change assumption (all provided for move ordering) It might be helpful if you could give me hints how I should handle that problem in a better way without suggesting me to leave my personal approach. Regards, Reinhard.
