Feel free to add another field of study to this list. An easy question to answer - The expertise of the author of Crafty Seriously though, an intelligent programmer would aquire needed skills during the implementation and testing of the program. Therefore programming expertise is probably the most important. On the other hand, not long ago, it was easier to teach an engineer to program than to teach a programmer the engineering skills required to solve certain problems. Therefore chess expertise is probably the most important. Looks like the best answer is to examine the qualifications of the successful chess program authors. Pete
