Verification for speed. Writing the code take hardly 5 or 10% from the total time for creating the game. This is why language must have so little impact on the time of writing the chess game. If the last change in my logic took some 5 hours for writing it, after 4 days of verification of positions I still don't know how much advantage I can obtain from the last change. I imagine that the same is true for everybody. This is why I would like to hear from you, or somebody else, how much really the time goes in writing the game compared with everything else. Leonid.
