I would like to Heiko, but I don't have much time for these things and playing chess myself has higher priority even though I don't do that much either. I think also that after reading rec.games.chess and the posts here for many years I know how much it takes to make a good chess program. I know I will never have the time or energy to do it properly. I have made my chess program mostly to test certain consepts and as a basis for answering questions about chess that other programs doesn't. I am a professional computer programmer and also like to make some programs on my spare time and chess is one of the most challenging and well defined tasks I know of. Regards Andreas
