Well, it's been said more than once, "you don't need chess knowledge to write a chess program." You are a better chess player than Hyatt, Bruce, Chris, Ed, and Stefan. However Hyatt, Bruce, Ed, Stefan, and Chris have all written the top programs in the world, and none of them play, or claim to play, master strength chess. I am sorry I took your post as being harshful towards SMK. But a lot of other people did too. So it's not just me. >On August 27, 2001 at 12:55:45, Slater Wold wrote: >>On August 27, 2001 at 12:03:53, Vincent Diepeveen wrote: >> >>>On August 26, 2001 at 14:18:27, Roy Eassa wrote: >>> >>>Ok let's be clear here.
