Hello Roger Thanks for supporting me but I am sure that I can learn a lot from fruit. Of course I have my original ideas but I think that adopting ideas from fruit can be productive for movei. I do not know how much of future improvement will be thanks to fruit but I do not think that adoption of ideas from fruit is a problem as long as the programmer understand the code and does not use copy and paste from fruit. Part of the ideas from fruit is not about evaluation or search but about better debugging code and better structure(I am not talking about basic structure of the board that I am not going to change to be the same as fruit inspite of the fact that it is possible that the design of fruit is slightly faster and I plan to stay with board of 64 squares unlike most non bitboard programs that have boards with out of board squares).
