Cewl, I wanted to write a distributed/parallel version of perft(d) for my MSc
thesis, but I was to pre-occupied with other things. I might do it afterall just
for the fun of it, because there really is no use at all!

;-)

Well, calculating perft(d) still has some use. We know what the answer means. On
the contrary, keeping a supercomputer busy for ages and when it returns a number
(say 42) don't remembering what it is the answer to, is not so usefull.

Cheers,

Renze
