Subject: Just interested in the main reason you're programming!

Hello! I'm a newcomer to the area of chess programming and I'm just curious why
there are so many chess programmers.

So why do you do it?
a) The money I make from it.
b) The challange in writing a good chess engine is so entertaining.
c) To beat a particular chess playing friend.
d) To beat the human race and prove computers are better (at chess at least).
e) Because I'm so good at it.
f) I've got nothing else to do.
g) Some one talked me into it.
h) Something else.

I've started because "g", and will continue at least for a while because of "b".

I'd really like to hear your reason.

/Regards Albert Bertilsson
