I believe that I have ideas that are not used by Ed but I want to understand the ideas that Ed use. I do not believe that the fact that Ed exposes ideas will make it harder for me to compete(there are still a big bumber of ideas and the ideas of Ed give me inspiration to find more ideas). programmers who use incremental move generator may have more problems to compete because they can implement less ideas if they do not rewrite their program from scratch.
