This is dependent in the definition of the goal. You can also say that the goal is to make your engine stronger when you do not care about the competition. There are a lot of engines when the author publish the source code. Resp comes with a source code but I think that a page that explain ideas like Ed's stuff is more productive for understanding then a new source code because in a source code I often do not know where to look and it is easy in Ed's page. > >>>Not to mention that just getting to the high level is very time consuming. >>> >>>-S. >> >>I think that after reading Ed's page it is relatively less time consuming >>so this is a good reason to be happy about Ed's page. > >It is less time consuming for everybody, which means Movei will not progress in >relative strength, only in absolute strength. I do not think so. There are engines that the programmers stopped to work about them so it means that movei may improve more relative to them. Uri
