Hi Fermin

Tell me if I've understood properly your idea: in order to make you moves generator faster, you want to put first in the switch the pieces that are moved more often, because that way you have to check less conditions.

If that's the idea, then I guess you shouldn't take statistics from played games, but from moves generated by the moves generator itself. I mean: generate all the moves to, for example, ply 8. Count how many of the generated moves were made by each type of piece, and then use this info to order the cases of the switch of your move generator.


Cheers
