Yes, but I think Frans Morsch, Richard Lang, Marty Hirsch and the others works more hours, days, years at his programs. Look Insomniac, I think Insomniac is 50 ELO weaker than Chess Genius 5.0 and the new version maybe better ? And now look the time factor. We have x examples. I will be speeking with professional programmers in Leiden 2000 about this theme. I have not to many contacts to professional programmers but I asked professional programmers from time to time when I have the chance. >It is also possible that some amatuer programmers work more then 15 hours in the >week. It is possible yes. I have the information that Christian Barreteau work 15 hours in the months on his program !! What say you now ? You think ... and how many years :-)) Regards Frank
