Ah, but it never did "do chastling" until it was far
too late. It appears that spite-checks are heavily
favored over both piece-development and castling.

Unprotected? Note that even if the King were
"protected" by ten different men, White would
gain nothing; this is because the game ends if
the King is checkmated (i.e. to be captured),
so there is no "recapture" after the fact.
Even if the GetClub program calculated that
it would eventually get, say, three pawns for
the Knight, it would have only done so by
checking and eating pawns while the opponent
developed several pieces. This leaves two
problems in its wake: the Queen can either be
trapped or harried while developing even more
pieces; and normal development never happens
because of the constant need to defend the
Queen against such threats. Besides which,
there is no gain from getting three pawns for a
Knight; in order to come out ahead, you need
to bite one of the plastic pawns in two, then
play so that you end up with three, *plus* half
of the tasteless plastic pawn for the Knight.
Watch out for lead weights! They can be hell
to bite through. Better still, only sac' a piece
if you get four pawns in the deal.

White spent time building up a wall of pawns
in the center. Apart from a sacrifice, as in this
game, the pieces can be developed later,
behind the protection of those pawns, which
act as a ****eld.
In closed positions, /time/ is not quite the
same as it is in open positions. So long as
there is no significant interaction between the
two armies, maneuvering is feasible.
In this opening (the Benko* Gambit), Black
does best if he /fianchettos/ the King's Bishop,
so it can work in conjunction with the Queen
and Rooks to attack on the Queenside. The
move ...e5 blocks the long diagonal, and so
it is not usually combined with the ...b5 pawn
gambit. If you want to block the center, it is
better to (still) /fianchetto/ the King's Bishop,
and then play for ...f5, as in the King's Indian
Defense. In any case, Black will end up
playing pawn-to-d6.

Many years ago, a fellow came from out
of nowhere with a chess program that was
stronger than all the others. It had a nice
GUI, nicer chess pieces than the number
two program, and most curious of all, it fit
on a single floppy disk as it was quite
small in addition to searching faster.
Unless you have lots of text in your chess
program (i.e. "this subroutine gives a bonus
for 'chastling', and causes every level to
think extra-long if the opponent's handle =
'help bot' "), this may well be an indication
of redundancy or poor organization.
