My money would be on Bob in most arguements. I owe him more than I expect to pay back, you know how that goes. The whole history of Chess programs is rather interesting (responding to a bunch of stuff I deleted, oops). You could almost conveniently devide it into distinct groups by using the decades as cuttoff points (ok, maybe just from the way I percieve it) up until the '90s, now I don't know if you'll be able to clearly distinguish the '90s from the '00s. Things certainly are hectic right now. This isn't a very laid back place is it? You may be setting your sites a bit high for Crafty. I mean, great program, but I'm not sure how realistic you're being when you expect it to become "...the strongest artificial intelligence chess machine...". This kind of reminds me of the guy carving the Crazy Horse statue out of a mountain, I have no idea if even his children will live long enough to finish it, he didn't. Pete
