If you for example write your chess program for a Cray-2 in Fortran your program may be mutch slower than Cal (Cray assembler language), so an extra play is possible. However, if you use a current PC and a fast compiler and a decent source code, you will get not much more than a speed up factor of 2, if you get anything by using assembler. Writing a chess program in assembler is pointless. Kind regards Bernhard >>bruce > >If extra ply signify game that goes five or six time more rapidly, Assembler >give you just this. > >Leonid.
