He talked only about most program and not about most top program.

The latest version of movei(that is not freeware) is not a top program but I
believe that it is better than most chess programs(there are a lot of free chess
programs and it is hard to know if it is better than most of the chess programs
because the question is what is the level of the private programs)

It has only about 200 lines of C codes that are used for evaluation.
I am interested more in search improvements then in evaluation improvements.
