That depends on your perspective. Computer chess consists of a variety of different, but related, topics. Not everyone defines the human vs. machine encounter as the driving force behind their interest in computer chess. I'm certainly guilty of that. The same applies to the various fractions that each in their own way puts various programs on a pedestal and worships their every move. Then add those that are obsessed with acquiring the best hardware and/or competing at chess servers; people who are dedicated to the preservation and development of certain (obscure) protocols, amateur program awareness and a lot more strange and peculiar stuff. Unless you have a very narrow focal point, I think there's always something worthy of attention if you look. Regards, Mogens
