Hi T: I also miss Martyn B. and after a long search I located him and I sustained some comunication with him about why he left the field. It happened a couple of years ago. He said to me that he just got bored of it and prefered to go to checkers field. He thought not enough mone worth the effort was gotten in chess programming. In Checkers he produced some very good programs, but BTW I do not know if there he got the money he wanted. Nevertheless I insisted: maybe he could come back some day. I questioned that and he said "maybe some day. In any case I feel I could tweak for the best almost any current chess program. I have learned many more tricks for that". So maybe some day we will see another Colossus. Yes, Colossus 4 was very good. I runned it in an old Atari and was worth the money. And yes, it was better than Colossus X. Fernando
