Next time i do better. But think about it: Recently Dr. Hyatt wrote, that his program consists of 50 000 lines of code! You can expect to have an equal or higher complexity in commercial contenders. Do you really mind anyone can _explain_ his program? Or any other program? If he could we would not need a world championship! Read his article as a mission statement! You said the author told us nothing than obvious things. Not true! There a many other things one could try to stress as author, e.g speed or special search techniques. Oliver Roese
