This was both a learning project for the Forth langauge and a donation of decent chess program to the Forth community. (The other program mentioned on that web page is quite poor.) It is not meant to be competitive with other engines, especially since I haven't got my hands on a good optimizing Forth (Gforth and Win32Forth use threaded code, giving performance on par to interpreted programs; bigForth is 3x faster by compiling to machine code, but still does not optimize like a C compiler would. There are much better commercial Forths available which do optimize.) The eval also hasn't changed from TSCP (yet), so it would not be a particularly interesting opponent. There is another programmer who did make a WinBoard interface for my program, but it runs on his own commercial Forth. (http://home.iae.nl/users/mhx/) Ian
