I also had Negamax implemented before I switched to alpha-beta later by adding some lines of code. Just make sure you don't implement something you don't understand. Better take it step by step. It's important that you know how it works before you implement it. Also don't waste too much time trying to speed up some unimportant parts of the program (like I did), better try to make it work first. Don't forget to document your code and don't mess too early with pointers. IMO it's better to keep it simple and stupid at the beginning. Have fun and be aware that this project might take _much_ more time than you might think now. Roman >IMO its all part of the learning.
