That is a good question.

First, I have not removed any chess knowledge. That Century 3 is a lot
faster anyway is because of improved and new search algorithms. Some
very important search idea's came from my partner Christophe and vice
versa. As you know 2 know more than 1. After 18 years I am still surprised
about the things I still don't know and I am sure there is a lot more
to discover and explore.
