I told Tom Kerrigen that it is possible to save time in the attack function by adding matrix to the program but he told me that the idea of his simple chess program was to do a program that is simple to understand and not to do the program faster I guess that it is possible to do the program 500% faster if it is the target. The question is what do beginners prefer? I hoped to see a program with no complex evaluation or complex search rules but but not a stupid program that you can easily do the same thing faster but maybe other beginners do not care about speed.
