:-)))

To be honest, I do not share chris comments 100 % !
I think some people here are not bean counters at all.
And I don't want to name anybody since I guess this point of view is
offensive and avokes anger.

No doubt about. An algorithm the kind of: if material is plus 3 of
CSTAL's evaluation, and Genius calculating in the background says +1
than switch of Tal and use genius engine, could really increase the
playing strength.

We will see how work develop.
Anybody who wants to work or has constructive comments or weak games can
send them to me, the best in PGN or also in CSTal-format zipped up.
I cannot guaranty to answer immidiatly, but will give my best not to
oversee anybody.
Also you have a chance to work in a team of people helping to make your
program develop into YOUR direction. Within certain ranges of course.
