I did some checking up and the author started on the program at the
end of 1998, at which point he did not know anything about chess
programming or game tree search.

That makes the program 2.5 years old. A few months ago the author
stated it certainly was not up to the level of other top programs
yet, hence it may just have been lucky. An 8 round swiss says
something, but not all.

Considering that the program is very comparable to Crafty in
structure, there is a fair amount of 'lending' that can happen,
which improves progress greatly of course.

That statement which he made during the tournament, that his program
had been in development for 4 years is appearantly a lie.
