The above might be true, but it is not very interesting in the present
discussion, because
chess programming using conventional techniques is not a very difficult
programming
task.  What we all do is basically implementing and fine-tuning relatively
simple and
well-known algorithms.  All the hard work of inventing the techniques has been
done
in the past.  Like Newton, we're standing on the shoulders of giants.
