Also, the alpha-beta algorithm is THE key to all computer chess programming. All the speedup tricks are based on alpha-beta. alpha-beta can be difficult for a beginner to understand if the explanation of it is vague. It's a fact that not all people can explain ideas clearly to beginners. Don't copy and paste speedup code unless you completely understand alpha-beta and the idea behind the speedup code. Michael
