I am really impressed about your work. I believe that it is the first bitboard one for Xiangqi (I know some have tried but then all gave up soon). I think you have been probably starting a new wave of designing/creating Chinese chess programs :) We highly appreciate your contribution. Keep up your excellent work, Pham |

Actually it was your VSCCP that allowed me to get started on this project. My first proof of concept (proving to myself that I could do it :P) engine was very similar to vsccp and later I continued using many of the concepts in that engine in my tsito engine. Eventually that engine outgrew its architecture and I decided I really wanted to try bitboards; I was too scared of them before. I have finally learned enough from the process that I can begin heading off in my own direction, but had it not been for VSCCP I probably would not have made it this far. NR |
