You have Crafty, open source, at 2500~2550 and the commercials are only ~150-250 better. Now with Ed's ideas exposed the gap narrows even more. I think in a sport like this there should be _some_ secrets. It is interesting to study Ruffian solving a problem, looking at the pv and figuring out for yourself what kind of extensions and tricks he must be using. I get no satisfaction from things being handed to me on a silver plate, I prefer to get the ideas myself. >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. Not a problem, I can turn incremental generation off, it's just my movegen is split in two halfs, I could spilt it in three or none at all, no problem. -S. >Uri
