Call it what you will, it still must make you pretty proud.  You've managed to
create a super-strong program that's tied with Crafty as the best free chess
program in human history.

When did you begin programming Yace?  Have you done the bulk of the work making
it so strong in the past 2 years (all I can find on the Yace website) or does it
go way back like Crafty?  How did you manage to make it stronger in the endgame
than many of the top commercial programs?
