No, I needed the -1 0 and 1 :-) That way whatever you move (like Qd2-d6 or Qd6-d2) I could find the places in between the 2. Same goes for Rd1-Rd8 or Rd8-Rd1). I needed it to multiply with -1, 0, 1 according to what move it was :-) Oh and I allready got it working so I'm all :-) :-) :-) about it. _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
