And then Bruce quickly put us in our place, citing that it more than likely wasn't even Frans. :( >For the pros and sharing ideas, I think Amir and Christophe are first place. I don't know why'd you say this. Like I said, I've never seen either post on their ideas of anything. >Second are Stefan Meyer-Kahlen and Ed Schröder. Stefan is a good guy. I've e-mailed him before about questions and/or comments, and he has alreadys had a very positive response. (Shredder has always been, and will always be my favorite chess program.) Ed used to post here all the time, and now very rarely does. But I remember when I first joined, he was always a contributor. >But if a chess programmer does not want to tell us his/her competitive secrets, >you can hardly blame them for that. Not at all. >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.' >[snip]
