His articles is, for me, the most enjoyable chess programming readings since
"Chess Skill In Man and Machine". There are lot's of great ideas that also give
raise to new ideas of my own.
His different solutions are so well balanced for his own program that I can't
just take one of them and think that it will work in my program with it's
completely differrent strucuture but I'm convinced that some day some of it will
be found in Terra in some, maybe adjusted, form.

For instance the idea with EVAL in each node is probably nothing that I will try
in the near future because of all the re-think necessary for me.
I thought that the days of "evaluation in each node" was counted by now and
disappeared with Genius or some of those programs back then (CSTAL is an
exception). Ed showed that using eval in all nodes in a smart way definitely can
pay off and maybe there more commercials with that design.

PS. Ed, I hope you haven't get tired of writing. I'm eagerly waiting!
