Subject: I'm back!!! (with some questions :))

  Well, I'm back from my summer holydays. Hello to everyone.
  I've been working hard on my program this summer and, finally, it plays chess
(not very good chess, but chess at least). I'll distribute it freeware to
everyone that ask me. Now I'm trying to make it Winboard compatible, wich maybe
will take a couple of days (it depends on how quickly I finish to clean my
house... :)).
  I have a couple of questions.

  1) What is the standard way of counting nodes? (I think this question has been
treated here, could somebody please tell me the results of that thread?). I
actually print generated moves, visited nodes, and evaluated nodes. What do most
programs print (for I can compare my speed)?

  2) I've tried to implement PV Search (I think this is the correct name for the
search where I use a null window for the non-PV moves) but my problem is, when I
call QSearch, I have a null Alfa-Beta window, so QSeach doesn't work properly.
I've tried calling QSearch with Alfa,+INFINITY. That works, but it's slow. What
should I do?

  Thanks in advance.

  José C.
