Right.  You have made a _major_ contribution to computer chess.  But Bruce and
I had this discussion in the past at some point, because if you bend the rules
the right way, several of us could call you co-author.  And while your stuff is
essential (IMHO) doing so is probably a convolution of the intent of the
rules...
