Are our two cases really "just hopeless"? Do we need to go back to college and pursue a college degree in Computer Science????? One thing I was "taught" in graduate school is that one must learn how to produce results without the help of a "babysitter." [No insult to teachers is intended here!] Unfortunately, learning efficient programming appears to be a daunting challenge. Is it really? How long would it take an absolute beginner to achieve sufficient proficiency [by self-study] at programming so that quality chess software code could be produced by that person? [Please assume that the "student" had nothing else going on in his/her life.]
