Anencephal: Thank you to give us that download possibility! I loaded and started it. The first impression is, that here is a new sophisticated program with an own GUI, what is double work, which should be honoured! The first view detected a surprising amount of functionalities. Some remarks:

a) You seem to have implemented a different numbering scheme, why? I could supply you with a standard position generating subroutine.

b) Your program seems not yet absolutly stable. It crashes when answering to following:

[Event "Testgame 1m/move"]
[Site "ChessBox"]
[Date "????.??.??"]
[Round "1"]
[White "Smirf Beta"]
[Black "Fereshte 0.8"]
[Result "*"]
[Annotator "R.S."]
[SetUp "1"]
[FEN "nrakcqnrbb/pppppppppp/10/10/10/10/PPPPPPPPPP/NRA KCQNRBB w KQkq - 0 1"]

1. Nf3 {(11.03) +0.246} c6 2. i4 {(11.11)
+0.631} h5 3. ixh5 {(13.02+) +1.012} *

Reinhard.

P.S.: c) Your program uses a permanent brain (or at least 50% processor capacity). This should be off switchable when playing against another program at the same computer.

d) it could help to have any sound, when a move has been calculated.
