As you maybe know Chris had a team of many programmers, some working on the GUI, meanwhile chris did the creative part of the chess engine. But sometimes the programmers had to interact and since they were all very different it was amusing to see how this worked. Chris tried out many things and the source code is full of funny remarks telling Chris not to edit here, not to change there ... I met them personally and often talked with them via telephone, fax or later email. In his small company chris had at least 3 or 4 autoplayer-pairs running against genius, fritz, mchess, hiarcs. I have no idea what chris is doing at the moment. He is not the first intelligent person leaving the scene. Remember that Julio Kaplan, Thomas Nitsche and Marty Hirsch left for various reasons. IMO the programmers should more often let their programs fight against each other instead of insulting each other in newsgroups. same for the fans. Tournaments are very important for canalyzing this HEAT into something senseful. In older times we had more tournaments. I am looking forward to your program, as i told you. In the moment it is very hot in germany and testing with computers is really painful :-)). When temperatures in a room increase from 30 degree celsius to arround 35-37 its not anymore funny to do computerchess :-))
