In my opinion it's way more important to be a good programmer than it is to be a good chess player in order to write a strong program. Writing a program to play at an 1800 level is not hard at all... you can have a ton of bugs and it will still do ok on a fast machine. I'm a terrible chess player and have an engine that plays an fairly good game of chess... Scott
