Hello Dimitris,

Of course you do come to disagree but isn't that the fun of debate?

:-)

Should Movei jump 100 Elo then I would congratulate the programmer, Uri Blass.

To me, it is like putting in a different type of petrol or compressing deleting
files so that the computer runs faster.  Of course it is a good thing but the
genius is in designing the computer in the first place.

Building on a superstructure is always going to be easier that building the
structure in the first place.

Give me an engine with original ideas that peaks at 1000 Elo and I wil take that
over a modified version of FritShredNimzo that plays at 3000 Elo.

I love engines as diverse as Roce to WB Nimzo, Crafty to Ghost, Shredder to the
Baron, Horizon to Gaviota, Kiwi to Rebel/Pro Deo, Deep Sjeng to Yace (soon to be
replaced, sob!!).

All original, all fun.

So I guess I hopped off the Elo train some time ago.  I will take originality
over a number any day.  Where is Roce?  I am going to administer some
punishment...

Of course, others may see it differently....
