Go up one level in this thread


No thanks, I have my own program already.  :)

I have incorporated may ideas from Crafty,
thanks Bob!  Crafty is the program I play
the most (it is stronger than my own), hey
I like Crafty!  :)

I have been programming for 20+ years, less
than a lot of people on this board, but
more than others.  I am not the best by
a long shot, but I am an adequate programmer.

I just listed the things that I have heard
beginners saying they want.  Tom has done
a nice job, but nothing is perfect and
other people are entitled to an opinion.

I referenced TSCP as an example of a good
source to start with.  Since I have been
flamed, I will no longer list TSCP at all.

I stand by my list, if anyone wants to
work on a program like that, great, you
will make some people happy and have fun
in the process.  If not, great.

An addition to my suggested list is building
a book from pgn files.

My suggestion is for beginners to look at Crafty,
Crafty is the best source on the net, easiest to
read, optimized, and has a large following.

Just my opinion, let the flames begin.

Best Regards,
Chris Carson
