On the other hand, maybe there are parts of crafty which could be used in the beginning so that the newbie programmer could concentrate on creating his/her own code for the really important parts. Dann Corbit seems to have suggested that starting with an existing search algorithm, such as alpha/beta, might be a prudent way to get started. It is not so clear about the position evaluation [and maybe move generator]. I do not read about well known algorithms for position evaluation. Some of the input-output and supporting software maybe should be used as-is assuming the copyright owner consents. Am I on the right track? Bob D.
