Does anyone knows good guides about threads for C++? Preferably with example code.
I'm using win32 + DirectX for chessprogram and I need thread for computer player (so that program doesn't go unresponsive while AI ponders its next move).

The windows threading mechanism is very simple.
Personally, I always favor boost.thread since it doesn't bind me to a specific OS, but since you are already using DirectX that's a moot point.
Windows threads are fairly simple. The only guide you need is MSDN. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...41(VS.85).aspx
Just so you know, your project would have been much easier to finish using Ogre3D.
@unauthorized
Thanks. I'll look into it.
Actually I may still switch to Ogre3D since it sounds promising. This was originally school project we made in small group, but since our 3D group (they had to use win32 and DirectX) failed partially, I made 2D board using OpenGL (which I had to learn overnight before final deadline). I'm using win32 practically for proper menu toolbars and I'm only starting to make 2D board (much better than 3D for chess) with DirectX.

Programming is a craft more than an art (software engineering, not
black magic) and as such, is about writing code that works, first
and foremost. If it works well, even better. The same goes for
ease of maintenance, memory footprint, speed, etc, etc. Most of the
time, people are writing code for a use in the *real world*, and
not just as an academic exercise.
