Just curious... have you tried programming any other games?  My friend who plays
Shogi says that all the Shogi programs kinda suck.  And I think Go programs suck
even worse than that.  I dunno anything about Chinese Chess, so I can't comment.

It seems to me that if a programmer were seeking to make a mark in the game
engine world, he'd stand a better chance by writing a program for one of these
other games, not chess.
