Hi Bob:

Of course my idea of a catalog of already invented ideas does not pretend to be
state-or-he art stuff as much, as you say, commercial people will not show not
share his ideas; my purpose is just to avoid fans here to fall in very elemental
mistakes each time they believe that after an hour of thought they have
discovered something that is, since time ago, a comodity of chess programming.
Just to know about algorityhms that are common knowledge for the programmers -so
no secrets involved- BUT hidden misteries for us would be very useful.
Else: I stil think you should imitate people that, althought not trying to
become 100% commercial developpers, nevertheless sell his products with a couple
of frills. Yes, I have said this many times, but I would like to see a Crafty
in a cd rom with all what is needed to play and to know that you are deservedly
going to make some money of it. It is a shame tha very inferior programs than
yours gives some earnings to his developers and you stay giving for free your
ideas, sources, etc.
Best regards
Fernando
