Chess programmming is since long ago -except in case like deep blue experiment-
not a cutting edge in software industry or reasearch and so, in a relatively
little country like yours, the few people engaged in programmming tends to
concentrate  in the real cutting edge areas. By the same reason somebody
expending time in chess tends to be rare. You will not find them, almost. My
impression is that chess programming is time consuming  and so scarcely you will
find people engaged in state of the art software reasearch willing to expend
time in it, of course with exceptions. Bob Hyat probably is one of them.
Nevertheless, in average, I would expect you need a great mass of good
programmer between too many good or event better programers to find people
willing to allocate efforts into chess programming.
Well, just an hypothesis. Prove me wrong..:_)
