It's far more important to be a good programmer than a good chess player in order to produce a strong chess program. Of course the programmer must have rather good knowledge about different chess elements but that is not at all the same as being strong in OTB play. I even beleive that a very strong OTB player might have some troubles to lower his level of play to the level of an evaluation function in a chess program... /Peter
