I can certainly optimize TSCP for speed by copying most of Stobor. It would be
about 10 times faster and the code would be an order of magnitude harder to
understand. So what's the point? I'd have two copies of Stobor and my Simple
Chess Program will be a far, far cry from simple.

I suggest looking elsewhere for a program that's fast.

>Hash table support

These features would also make the code significantly more complicated.

>Interface with winboard

Already done.

Don't feel it's necessary. It takes all of 30 seconds to make your own. And
besides, I'm including the executable already.
