// MAIN ALGORITHM
// 1. ComputerMove: Scans the chessboard and makes all possible moves.
// 2. CheckMove: It checks the legality and correctness of these possible moves.
// 3. (if thinking depth not reached) => call HumanMove
// 4. HumanMove: Checks and finds the best answer of the human opponent.
// 5. ComputerMove2: Scans the chessboard and makes all possible moves at the next thinking level.
// 6. CheckMove: It checks the legality and correctness of these possible moves.
// 7. (if thinking depth not reached) => call HumanMove
// 8. HumanMove: Checks and finds the best answer of the human opponent.
// 9. ComputerMove4: Scans the chessboard and makes all possible moves at the next thinking level.
// 10. CheckMove: It checks the legality and correctness of these possible moves.
// 11. (if thinking depth reached) => record the score of the final position.
// 12. (if score of position the best so far) => record the move as best move!
// 13. The algorithm continues until all possible moves are scanned.
// SET huo_debug to TRUE to see live the progress of the computer thought!
