The engine wants Qi5. I'm still thinking what I want. j5 would be an option.

j5 is a great move, I don't like it that the engine doesn't favour it.

Meanwhile I'm doing preparations so that the program is able to import an opening book. It will be xml because in Visual Studio C# I can use off-the-shelf xml parsers. I just finalized the code to validate a move entered by a person. It must be Monkey-proof. Small step, but an entire day of coding and testing.

The coding for reading an openingbook from a file, and make the engine follow it, is done.
It seems to work, although tomorrow I want to do some more testing.
If this really works, then next step is to put your opening database in the format that the program needs, and it will play nicely in the opening.

Of course I will take care of this part. You can keep updating the database and I will keep preparing it for the engine.

TERRIBLE bug/debug time 
The last normally working version responds quickly with Ra6.
Now I added code to store all positions and evaluations - during the calculation - in a memory. So if there are two paths to one and the same position, it stores the result (mate in 3) first time, and 2nd time it gets it from the memory.
Result: it becomes slower, behaves very strange and responds with Rb6 (which is also correct but ...??????????)

Don't worry about these ongoing games, I can always revert to the last normally working version, I keep backups.

I'm gonna assume my games aren't in the opening database.😅

The engine wants We5. I'll play it because at this moment I just returned from a family party and won't be able to come up with something better.

The choice of the engine is Bh5.
I'll play it. The engine is quite convinced.
