   It is easy to say (I too sometimes think I have a great idea, only to find
out that someone else thought about it before) The problem is that you want to
be paid first and give your idea after (?). As a marketing/communication expert,
I can tell you that the world is full of "great ideas" about new
products/services that "will make me a millionnaire", but once exposed, very few
survive the critics. As for chess programs, a verbal suggestion is easy. But it
would be better to come with the code of the programming for that idea. "If" it
is programmable. Then, you have to test the new idea for hundreds of games and
see if the results improved over the previous version.
