Don't go around with the impression that everyone who writes a strong Chess program can play a stronger game of Chess than his/her own program. That would be unreasonable. If someone developes a strong Chess program, my assumsion would be that they play a better game of Chess than I do, that I'm sure is most often true, but I'm betting that it's not allways true. I'm guessing that you can find people to try the early versions of your program if you speak up too. Pete
