There was a guy I read about in the paper. He married more than one hundred
different women. Imagine that! I started thinking to myself. Now, if that was
me, I might imagine that I had caught ahold of a bad woman or two. But by the
time I got into the 90's, I would probably have thought -- "Hey, maybe it's not
always *them* maybe it's *me*!"

You are talking to one of them (TK). Tom has entered (and done well) in
computer chess world championships with his chess program Stobor. Dr. Hyatt,
whom you seem to struggle with in other branches of this thread is another.
Robert Hyatt wrote the program Cray Blitz, which was a world champion program.
He is also the author of Crafty, which is the strongest ameteur open-source
program in the world. I'm just mentioning that because there are not a lot of
great ameteur programmers around who will be willing to donate their time to
your little project. Now, I think that just possibly you're not going about
this the right way. If I was searching for top experts to help me, I think I
might just try to be nice to them and listen quietly. I doubt very much if I
should tell them that they don't know what they are talking about.
