With only material you have an extremely stupid program. It will problably play openingmoves like 1 a3 ... 2 a4 and so on. However with a very little adjustment it will play a decent game. Use a piece square table, to let it see basic stuff like knights on edges are no good, pawns in centre are good, development is good, many oppo pieces on my half of the board is bad. And your programs ELO will rise from 1400 to 2000. My guess. I think it works best for Blits tc's. Bas Hamstra.
