While you may be quite right, the same is true for most amateur programmers.
Yet they start off and roll their own program.  Why?
Because there is something to learn for them.  Right?

Dito for evolutionary methods applied to chess.  There is still a lot to learn.
Also, evolutionary algorithms tend to be very sensitive to the details of
their setup, and so the failure of one or two experiments need not tell a
lot about the chances of the next experiment.

For me at least it looks like a much too unattended topic.
I'd love to see some results, whether they are positive or negative.
