Go up one level in this thread


He did the same thing last year at the WMCCC in London. In his spare time, he
did come over and hang out at the WMCCC - though I didn't get much opportunity
to speak to him personally.

Various other programmers who no longer try to keep taking the top place on the
SSDF also turned up - most notably Richard Lang - the programmer of Genius.

On questioning Richard Lang, he admitted that he finds it very difficult to
improve the playing standard of Genius now - suffering the perennial complaint
of programmers that if you improve the play of your program in one area, it
weakens it in other areas.
