a program that write chess programs(can you do it?)

[rjgibert]

You can do what you want with "self modifying code." Check out:

Don't carried away with this stuff, since it can be hard to debug and it does trigger a reload of the instruction cache, which slows things down, but if infrequently done, it can produce the speed up you are seeking.

Personally, I think all this is just a can of worms that is better avoided. Simple is better. Besides, there are more productive ways to improve a chess program.

PS:

If you would _really_ do it, this would be the way to go:

It is a working "Partial Evaluator" for C. It does exactly what you want and even more.
