I've watch Hyatt on r.g.c.c. for a while, and I know posts like these don't bother him a bit. However, with Robert Hyatt being probably the single largest source of my inspiration and love for computer chess, I will defend him. Although, I know he would ask me not to. While you were still trying to figure out "..how all those squares have numbers and letters.." Robert Hyatt was winning World Computer Chess Championships with Cray Blitz. He spends God knows how many hours a day responding to posts on this board, as well as others. (You will _NEVER_ see someone post a question without Hyatt being one of the first to respond.) As well answering numerous e-mails from those interested in him, and his work. He has gained the respect and admiration from almost EVERYONE who is ANYONE in this field. He has 30 years in computer chess, and I doubt by your attitude and maturity, you have 3. This man is selfless with his time, and his knowledge. And yet you flame him. If you had any question in the world, <insert most any commercial programmers name here> wouldn't give you the time of day to answer your question. Bob will sit down with you and show you how it works. Whether or not I believe computers play GM strength chess is no matter here. What matters is that people who have given 30+ years to this field have more of a right to an opinion than you *EVER* will. Think about that the next time you flame Mr. Hyatt, perhaps the most influential man in computer chess. All of you. And think about whether or not you're giving even a *fraction* of what he does.
