My guess would be that you are working on some kind of parallel
program constructed of a search driver that issues positions to
a whole bunch of crafties (or other EPD enabled ones) running over
a network. It will make heavy use of all the Gigabytes of EPD
data that you must have sitting over there.
That's a wild guess of course.
I've always wondered what you were _really_ up to.
From what I can gather you are a mathematician and a very skilled
programmer. You have been maintainer of the comp.lang.c FAQ, which
indicates you must have loads of programming experience.
You are very interested in chess software and have a huge collection
of programs and data. You have been in contact with the Deep Thought
people and even got them to do analysis for you.
Yet...I can't remember having seen any chess related software from
you. You must be up to something. I don't think you're trying to
make a program of your own because you don't seem to understand much
about tree search issues. So if you build anything that plays it
will most likely reuse other software.
Of course, all of this is wild speculation. I don't know _what_
you're up to, but it'd better be interesting or you will pay
deerly for making us so curious for nothing :)
