Ed and Chris have shared a good deal on how to do computer chess programming.  I
don't know if they have ever said anything about time management, but I suspect
that they might.

In any case, computer chess is a richer place because of both of them.  There
are other computer chess programmers that won't even speak to the public, let
alone share ideas.
For the pros and sharing ideas, I think Amir and Christophe are first place.
Second are Stefan Meyer-Kahlen and Ed Schröder.
But if a chess programmer does not want to tell us his/her competitive secrets,
you can hardly blame them for that.
We benefit in other ways, even from the ones that are completely tight-lipped
(such as having fun, playing chess against their engines[1])

I share your enthusiams for crafty, which is my favorite chess engine.

[1] "Fun" here is defined as 'abject humiliation.'
