Feel free to add another field of study to this list. I asked Christophe If he was intrested in me being a betatester So I could give my coments on what are the strong and the weak points of the program. His answer is no I am not intrested in a strong player as betatester About Chesstheory and Chessknowledge You can't be an expert in theory if you don't have good chessknowledge Because it is precisely because of the Chessknowledge that you can find improvements in theory. So one goes not without the other. And with chessknowledge you also can find easier improvements in a program too. Then again you must have some knowledge of how chessprograms work to change this in the program. And ofcourse even more to start making a chess program. I actualy saw that Eduard Gufeld has brought out a book How to exploit small advantages. And was thinking maybe a good book for Chessprogrammers to read. The most important factor is.... you must be a workaholic. Regards Marc van Hal
