Did TSCP and GNUChess come with a introduction book? You miss my point totally. How many people get idea from source code faster than from english? Take the rotate bitmap as a example, where did you get the idea faster? From Bob's posts or from Crafty's source code? I don't think that any advanced techniques has to be presented in a programming language, like C. >What he has done is shown thousands of chess programmers how to write a truly >excellent, state-of-the-art chess program, with all of the most advanced >techniques. Yes, Crafty is a excellent program. But if you think that you get the state-of-the-art of chess programming by looking the crafty's source, you are wrong. And be careful, you may just be bounded. :) Ren.
