Oh, yes it has. Just read the archives again and you'll see. I'll give you a
short overview of changes during the last year:

1) Vincent wrote an open letter to Bob: "I'm sorry about all negative stuff I
wrote about you. Please, let's be friends again - I beg you! I really admire you
and your Crafty as I admire most of the other chess programmers skill. I only
hope to reach that level some day."

2) Robert Hyatt annonced that Crafty now will be commercial. He will start a new
company and earn big money. No more open source here. The first 2 programs
released are Crafty and Diep. He will stop programming and be chairman of the
board in the comapny. Vincent will be engaged as the new top star programmer and
after Bob have bought his new tie and dark lounge suit he will, of course, stop
posting in CCC.

3) Instead Chessbase will very soon change all their products to open source
projects and Frans Morsch will add new stuff to Ed's site, describing all his
ideas and what's inside Fritz. (Hmm... I really have to check this again)

4) Most people now have realised that only a few games are enough to establish
with certainty who is the best. In fact only one game is enough, if you study it
very carefully.

5) I have found out a new search algorithm that constantly reaches 40 plies in
the midgame without loosing in quality. There are only a few minor things left
to test before I will reveal the whole thing in this forum. Yes, I forgot, 40
plies on my laptop, it is.

Due to my sources all of this is true or almost true... ;-)
