Subject: programmers and the wall

i've noticed ever since i've been following computer chess that there is a
programming cycle at the end of which a particular programme gets exhausted and
then reaches a plateau.presumably the programmer has milked everything possible
from the programming technique he uses for his programme, after which unless he
tries something new, there is a flat line.this is esp true for the
champions-once a champion has lost his crown, he never makes a comeback; remains
a has been-genius; mcpro; rebel; hiarcs, now fritz is struggling to retain its
top spot with the twin assault from the 2 tigers!

wonder who's going to displace chris theron in 2-3 yrs time?

( i'm sure of one thing though-the next champ, under whatever guise it is
now,will be definitely be wearing the chessbase colours)
