I agree. There's much more satisfaction in "working" with amateur engines, even
though a large percentage isn't that useful for the author. Therefore it would
be very beneficial with the assistance of someone knowledgeable about chess
instead of chess morons like myself. Closing or just maintaining the gap between
amateurs and commercial programs is a noble task IMO. Commercial programs
already have several paid minions and faithful supporters for their cause. So,
Kurt, it's time to return from the dark side ;-).
