My idea was that is perfectly possible to make a near-top program in short time because so much information and examples are available now. Everybody can use ideas from everybody now, that was much harder say 10 years ago. I gather my information about similarity to Crafty's structure from your previous posts here. I cannot possibly judge how far this similarity goes, as I have no code to see. >Fours years is about correct. I could not even do C when I started.

At the end of 1998 you did not know anything about chessprogramming yet, hence you could not have been working on your program for that long. (When I said you 'lied' I meant that I thought you deliberately exaggerated because you felt attacked by Will's inquiries.) -- GCP
