Primer

I haven’t been this excited about anything in a long time. Thanks, Robert, for the recommendation.

A Long Overdue Update

A few days ago, I compiled and ran GRAY MATTER for the first time in months if not years. Thanks to Jonne, it compiled with only two warnings (unused variables) and soundly defeated me at a few quick games. On my plate for this week: fix those two warnings, then make the transposition table a singleton.

Python

A little girl walks into a pet shop and asks for a rabbit.

The shopkeeper looks down at her, smiles, and asks, “Would you like a lovely-fluffy little white rabbit? Or a cutesy-wootsy little brown rabbit?”

“Actually,” the little girl replies, “I don't think my python would notice.”

Italian Proverb

After the game, the king and the pawn go in the same box.
