In my opinion it would be a reaonable choice. The compiler is about as fast as
good C/C++ compilers. The Pascal language is fine. The only minor disadvantage I
can think of is that most example code you probably want to learn from is in C.
Tom's Simple Chess Program is a good starting point to take a look at. I think
there are other programs written in Delphi, but I don't know if the source is
free.

However if you want to run your program on many different platforms, not only
Win, you should know that C is portable and Delphi is not. By the way: I think
Borland is going to release Delphi/C++ Builder (which is the same, but the
language is C/C++, I use it) for Linux.
