hmmm... I think the opposite is true: most chess programmers are quite bad
players... not all as bad as me, but look at the following:
here is my ICC statistics of my private account:
Statistics for Pommi On for: 0 Idle: 0

and the next one is from my engine:

Well, Vincent told me once that I should get the price for the biggest
difference between programmer and program... :) -> But I think Scott Gasch is a
tough competitor in that contest... :)
