Probably they are having good living enough without getting money from chess programming. I think it's a hobby one will continue anyway (even if there were not many of those interested to play the program) for his own fun. And why won't one share the fun with others, when we have so good data communication connections... I'm just a beginner, written simple chess programs for three years. I think it always feels good to get feedback from here and there about my programs. Perhaps if I someday can write a program with some new idea making it really strong, there could come into mind to try make some money with it too... But then quite soon I'd tell the new idea to the others also. Jari
