I believe there are much more people looking to your website: I'm another one.
Thx for the great job.

I contacted Stef Luijten about it on the 6th, and he responded promptly with:

"Yes, the site is down as I do not have time to maintain it. If there is a volunteer to take over and publish the site elsewhere - I can forward."

I don't have any experience in web hosting or maintenance, else I'd do this in a snap. Winglet was by far the best resource for people just beginning their chess programming journey, and I'd hate to see it fall off the map!

Google's webcache is still up. Seems like the content is just a bunch of static pages. If no one is willing to host a mirror, it shouldn't be that difficult to convert to PDF or move somewhere free, e.g. setup a blog at wordpress.com and post source code at GitHub.

And Google's cache is gone... but it still can be accessed through Internet Archive.

Some real chess stuff is about to start: move generation.

Hi all,
So I've just discovered Winglet and it's an excellent learning tool. However, in section "19 Null move pruning" it states "There are some important changes in makemove.cpp and movegen.cpp that are not listed here" - and the link that's provided is broken. Does anyone have the updated code files they can share? Or a link to the source?

Many thanks,
Graham....

Here is a link to the code:

I had to make a couple changes so that it would compile with g++.
