I agree. But, I think we also need chess programming articles as well. If, as
you state below, 10% or less of the people here are programmers, then about 10%
or so of the articles should be on computer chess programming (and that is not
to say that non-programming readers would not find these type of articles
interesting).

And, people write articles based on their own interest. So, in my case, if I was
successful in compressing any position into 20 bytes, then that would be what
interests me. I would post the paper and if only one person read it, that would
be enough.
