Go up one level in this thread


Commercial programs are easy to understand and define. But how do you define a
program is an amateur? By developing time? Some people have been developing
their programs for tens years and may be longer than some commercial
programmers. Part time work? I think some commercial programmers have other
works than chess programming only. Debuging effort? I am sure non-professional
people has to pay more efforts for debuging than professional one. Open source?
Many non-commercial programs are not open source.

Amateur term seems not to be good enough to define many programs.
Should we divice chess programs into commercial and non-commercial groups
instead of amateur?
