Thanks! I found a source in Pascal some while ago which was developed as an educational school project I believe, so it may be fairly basic. Well, better than Basic anyhow! I haven't taken a close look at it yet. A prospective chess programmer will want to learn C sooner or later, I think. It will be faster and it is the standard so that makes communication and exchange with other programmers easier.There are many sources on link below, the one in Pascal is KC Chess. It comes with documentation too. If you move up in the directory of the link there is much more material on computer-chess. I found the link on Stormy Chess Corner, homepage of Theo van der Storm. The link to his homepage is on other post of mine I placed a few hours ago. Hi everybody Eelco http://www.xs4all.nl/~verhelst/chess/sources.html
