Instead of constantly modifying Chess V as time goes on, various versions could (and therefore should) be fixed in time and space, so a 'performance' or 'competence' rating could be assigned to each version, and people would have some kind of an idea how well they (or their programs) are performing against it. The 'I-depth' variable is interesting, but there are other ways of defining a program's playing strength than by defining how many plies deep the search should go. Anyway, there is nothing more miserable than having to plod through 'C' source code; it's totally inscrutable. (At least well-commented assembly language makes sense.) It would make a great sparring partner for those of us who can finally be convinced there's a reason to buy a reasonably modern Intel machine to run it on. Edit Form You may not post a new comment, because ItemID Price of Chess V does not match any item.
