Remember, my post included this sentence: Maybe milestones is too strong a word but some kind of site would be nice that would showcase the accomplishments of the many programmers in this area of computer chess. I hoped that I made the intention clear by citing a few examples. Here are the other ones: Crafty winning a state championship Genius beating Kasparov in game/30 Listing the first micro to beat a GM The net tournament of game/30 where the computers did so well. (Wasn't Ferret part of that computer group?) Are the few examples I've given not worthy candidates of accomplishments made by chess programs? If Rebel-Anand isn't noteworthy which of the above are? I wasn't looking for some rigid test that the programs had to pass to be included. For example, I think an accomplishment would be citing some of the current ICC computer ratings. Put in an historical perspective that to me is quite an achievement.
