[sorry for the blank post]


Computer chess is a distinguished field in AI research. Most computer chess
innovations are published in academic journals (e.g., ICCA/ICGA), and a
significant number of those involved in computer chess programming are academics
(e.g., Dr. Hyatt).

Research conducted in computer chess has to follow the scientific guidelines, no
less than a research conducted in physics. And for these reasons I believe
Rolf's post was definitely on-topic (though a little different from common posts
here).
