That program of yours would waste a whole
lot of paper and ink, since it is an endless loop.
Ah-- maybe you just "print" to a CRT? Much
better. In fact, I believe I have written this same
program, some centuries ago, back when they
called a PDP/11 a micro-supercomputer, or
something along those lines. BASIC language,
and because most CRTs were green phosphor,
the amber ones were both rare and beautiful.
I like the idea of taking a legal-move generator
from the public domain, and then focusing on
tweaking the chess-knowledge part of the
program, rather than a never-ending struggle
to get just the legal moves ****tion right. But
then, the program is not entirely your own
creation, is it?
