It is easier to improve a very weak engine than a moderately strong one, of course. I'm afraid Gothmog will never get much stronger than it is today. The problem is that, unlike you, I am neither a strong chess player nor a good programmer. In the near future, I will try to add more endgame knowledge to my engine. When that task is finished, I have no good ideas about how to continue the development. I will hopefully finish my Palm OS version of Gothmog, but after that it is likely that I will switch to other games (I have already started programming hexagonal chess) or other hobbies. Another "problem" is that I will probably have much less time for chess programming this spring, because all the injuries which haunted me during the last year finally seems to have healed and I can start training again (I still have a tiny hope to qualify for the 400 meters in the Norwegian track and field championships next summer). >based on my own experience, i guess that will be at least as long as you >are a PhD student >:-) :-) >>On the other hand, I'm sure I'll >>find some interesting algebraic geometry conference in Switzerland sooner or >>later. :-) > >hmm, there are plenty of things to see and do in switzerland beside algebraic >geometry, i assure you! I am sure there are, but whenever possible (and in this case I am fairly sure it is), I try to combine business with pleasure. :-) Tord
