Dear Guys, I want to tell you my news. I relaized I that I learn't a LOT of Chess programing and I think that the UruChess I am actually working has LARGE code comparing to the speed: With the HEX tutorial that Michel Chassey wrote to me and reading again http://members.xoom.com/jswaff/chessprg/ BITBOARDS pages I realized that it wasn't TOO hard to build a BITBOARD engine. I think that finishing my actual engine won't teach me anything since I only have to make it Winboard compatible and change some things to the eval and done. At the beggining I only wanted to do a chess engine but now I want to do a good chess engine. Jose Carlos inspirated me a lot since his bet to me (in order to insult me) and I thank him a lot. I will start from 0 and again until I get more than 70% sastified since the current UruChess I am working I can relalize myself that isn't so perfect as I can do. I hate posting all releases with very small changes. I am very strict on performance. I am sorry for those persons who waited for a quickly release of UruChess, but as a chess programer I can't release a thing that I can realize that isn't very well. I have more obligation to do that since UruChess will be free and I am not presioned sell something quickly in order to earn cash. It also helped me a lot studying TSCP and writing my move-generator based Michel Chassey idea with my compresion (without perfomance lose) notation (I think he agree my last move-gen). That teached me a lot. I think that reading Crafty huge source code made me thought that it was extremly hard to write a bitboard engine. Crafty isn't for begginers (talking about chess player and code) and I got very confused because lots of persons told me to study it. Today I am going to talk with maybe the only other chess programer that is in Uruguay at the beach. Maybe that will change my future drasticaly. Thanks for all, Especially to:- Michel Chassey, Robert Hyatt, Pete Galati, Bruce Moreland, leonid, Frank Quisinsky, Jeroen van Dorp, Bas Hamstra, Eugenio Castillo Jimenez (not at any particular order) Nicolás Carrasco http://www.puntadeleste.to/uruchess/
