Does that mean that we can be sued for using ideas such as using bitboards... or a 64 bytes array to represent the board? The only two pieces of code that I have ever copied are: 1) A few lines to read the input, because I didn't know how to do this. 2) A branchless assembly version of a 64-bit BSR/BSF for 32-bit processors. The implementation (but not the original ideas) of typical chess engine search / evaluation functions are mine... because I don't like reading other people's code. Do you advice to start sending lots of mails to lots of people asking for the permission to use their ideas if I ever decide to send my program to a tournament (or make it commercial)? All this sounds a bit extreme to me. Regards, Jaime
