Yes, I suppose he doesn't need to tell everyone he deleted them-and that it was because they were not improving. I wonder if there is any program which satisfies him. I personally am hoping to get my final engines soon, and will assume that in a few years from now, there will be no further major breakthroughs. And if there are, good for (all of) you, but I might not be in the field anymore, to even know about it (atleast, not to benefit from it). Since my main interest is quality of playing (and features etc.) and not "how to be happy without any money" (even though I'm very poor), I'm prepared to pay for the best there is now. My interest is also, to come to a conclusion about programs, and then to breifly dabble into chess itself, and then to leave that too. So a bit of money is not my main preference to avoid having to pay.
