Of the top of my head I would estimate that it would require a person as talented in programming and chess as a GM is in chess (perhaps not a GM, but a talented master player). In addition to that, I think it would require even more effort than it takes to become a GM, since a person training to become a GM could take lessons or read a book, learn a new concept, and move on to other things, whereas a computer program would require many hours of coding alone (in addition to planning/design and learning the concept yourself in the first place). So basically, you have to have the knowledge first. Then if you are one of the few gifted players who has that knowledge, you must also be talented enough in programming to be able to implement that knowledge into a computer program, and do it so that it runs in a reasonably efficient manner. Then again, that's just my initial thought. I'm sure that there is a great amount of room for improvement in the evaluation of chess positions in chess programs. Russell
