Ok @Dbox
it can be a interesting exercise doing a TUI for this engine, but you must accept that its max force is about 1000Elo (IMHO);
as you can see from these screenshots, it gives an interesting playing at expert level if you play straight.
But as soon as you try some traps it leaves pieces for free.
Here it has got the pawn in D4 and now it will loose the queen after Bishop B5+

Here it gives a Knight for 2 pawns after Queen d4

In sum it is stronger than QBChess.bas (a demo that belongs with examples), but it is still very BASIC.
