Subject: 3 top authors in one room for a year

Author: Roy Eassa

If somebody came along and paid the authors of Chess Tiger, Shredder, and Junior
(to pick 3 strong programs, with no offense to the other equally strong ones!)
5,000,000 USD apiece to spend 60 hours a week together in a room, for a year,
and work together to create a new CB engine that played stronger chess than any
of their current engines, what would happen?

Would the combination of three commercial competitors be able to create
something clearly better than any could alone?  Would they just argue and
disagree about how best to implement search, evaluation, etc.?  (I'm assuming
that spoken language is no issue and they have plenty of PCs, compilers, etc.,
to work with.)
