I had an appointment with the CompSci chair at East Carolina University today. I was hoping to "bypass" an intro course based on prior experience with computers. We sat down, and he proceeded to ask me a series of questions to gauge my knowledge. He asked me about hashing, pointers, binary search trees, and the like. I mentioned that I work on a chess program in my spare time. We talked about computer chess for a while, and.... as a result, he awarded me 2510/2610/2611 and 3510! (That's two intro courses, a lab, and a data structures course.) So, the list of "benefits" I have received from computer chess has grown! By 10 hours of "knowledge credit" to be exact. :-) Just thought I'd share. :-)) -- James
