In view of the size and complexity of Crafty I wonder whether or not cloning
Crafty is really a good idea for the newbie chess programmer to get started.

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?
