Yes, but that would mean a lot of coding :) I'm just building up a basic opening book at the moment, then , as you say, it will be worth playing my program against another one of roughly the same standard. Problem was that all programs are better than it, and ever more so without an opening book, so I just wanted to have _something_ to start off with. Anyway - it's drawn a few times with Crafty now :)) I think the plan is to remove NULL move from GNUChess and play the two. That should be reasonably fair I reckon. Currently the opening book that ColChess has managed to create is 193 positions, with some 16 ply variations in it. Not bad. I just watched it play the Sicilian Najdorf perfectly when all I taught it was to occasionally play 1. ... c5 after 1. e4. I'm certainly happy with its progress so far. I'll let you know how I get on. Cheers, Colin
