I like the concept of "engines" very much and it's a nice extra promotion for the basic program in question. Still the "engine" system has 2 major disadvantages: a) you always see the same GUI; b) the market for engines is a limited one as most people use only one program. Of course (b) is not valid here on CCC :-) I will come up with another approach. At the moment I and another programmer are exchanging playing strength ideas which the both of us will use in each others engines. We estimate that it will make both engines a lot stronger. Next we will split jobs. I will fully concentrate on the "human-comp" approach (my specialty) and the other programmer will concentrate on the comp-comp area (his specialty). I hope we will manage and our expectations are high. We will see. - Ed -
