Actually I thought this way. Sooner or later Vasik will suffer the well known
burn-out syndrome. That is what we could expect after the first euphory... Look
at Ed Schr., look at Chris The., look at Mikhi Bot.!! I couldnt suffer because I
held back my different versions of my program The ROARING Thunder for about 10
years by now! Just like Bob said it: if you dont publish nobody could come
across and copy you! So, my Thunder is still the leader among the very best top
engines, Uri! The more I see people disassemble, I tend to decide that I remain
private. TRT202.Beta vs Rybka 1.13 ==> 122:6! See the games in my Gauntlet page
under my name. I could also send it via email.
