He had visions of 'proving' many members of that newsgroup insufficiently educated', when in fact, he knows next to nothing about chess programming, and his posts were little more than near-daily character assasination. In big steps he then progressed from newbie to the plague of rgcc. He was what Fillmore was to USA presidents, Aristotle was to hard science (ie, Aristotilian nonsense, contrasting sharply with Archimedes' brilliant science). To answer your question, it should be obvious that the two persons share the same name, but they are totally different persons. " Which we find entirely refreshing. Yes, he was the single biggest reason for CCC being formed, in a moderated format.
