If people know that they get money for their contribution to do a better chess program they will share information. It is possible to invite all the programmers to give ideas about improving chess programs when the people who give significant contribution will get money for their contribution and the decision about people who gave significant contribution can be done by the programmers. The only thing that is missing is a sponsor to give the money. Uri
