well i doubt if whether there is any chess programmer (or player)
who makes much money; maybe that's why there often seems to
be a lot of envy and competition in the chess world..
Take even someone like Kramnik; such a guy simply is a
loser, not only as he has to misuse his brain in playing
Fritz7, but also as he isnt world champ anymore;
not surprising:
1) *Ponomariov* now is world champ!, and *not* Kramnik..
2) apparently Kr.  still thinks that  Nf3 is the best  move,
whereas others eg. new in chess, H.Berliner, etc think that
d4 is best; also some people think e4 is the best (maybe Bookup,
who are quoting  Fischer,  'best by test'); well, although
e4 is the sharpest move, they all  are wrong !
Proof:
1. chess is a draw (see eg. my messages end last year on rgcc)
2. if move A (Nf3) would be better than moves B or C (d4 or e4)
than it should result in a win rather than a draw,
as the lesser move for white clearly isnt a loss, therefore
the best move 'should' win for white derived from 1 and 2:
3.  as chess is a draw, Nf3  cannot be better than d4 or e4,
which thus  is the proof that Kramnik is not a winner, QED
(that Kramnik is a loser
:)
