But there is some truth in the idea. It would be possible to have one program, say Shredder, anlyze the game and then let the remaining programs analyze Shredder's analysis. For completeness, one could also do the same starting with the other available engines. Then analyses of analyses could be compared. This idea could be extended to analyses of analyses of analyses and beyond. Try not to get confused with the result. : ) Bob D.
