Go up one level in this thread


There is not a lot of money in chess programming, or even game programming
generally, except for a handful of people who are very, very good at it, and who
are hooked up with a company that has a good market position.

In my day job, I work on very complex Java-based software. A single copy costs
more than 10,000 copies of Chessmaster. I make a good salary and have received
highly valuable stock options. I love chess programming, but if I were to do it
for a living, I'd likely never make more than a tiny fraction of what I've
earned working in other areas of software.
