Answer 1

It's been a long time since I've done any programming on any chess program, but at the time, bit boards did give a real improvement. Other than that I can't give you much advise. Do you only evaluate the position of pawns? Some (slight) bonuses for position or mobility of some key pieces may be in order.

I'm not certain what type of thing you would like it to learn however...
