Perhaps those who are creating chess software for profit would not wish to give
their competition any help.  That would be understandable.  But what about the
rest of the people posting here?  I would have expected to see MANY THREADS
about this topic.  After all, correcting the most important deficiency of
current chess software should be the first thing on everybody's minds!  All of
the creative and free-thinking people here [i.e. everyone here]should be
presenting new ideas for discussion.  Where is that discussion?????

I guess that's what they said about 32-bit when everybody was using 16-bit.
