Go up one level in this thread


acc. to their resumes. stuart regards himself as the original author; while john
does not. if memory serves me right, john once called(or let it be called) his
work "gnuchess 2".

my rationale on this question is:

HOW CAN ANYONE BE REGARDED AS THE ORiGiNAL AUTHOR WITHOUT ANY PROGRAM OR SOURCE
FILE AVAILABLE ON THE NET AND NO BODY HAS EVER CLAIMED HE'S SEEN A COPY OR HE
OWNS ONE.

as u know various doc files included in gnuchess packages are writtten by john.
maybe he posted them w/ other gnuchess files; and i have never read nor found
any doc file on gnuchess programming skills written by stuart.

but many packages attribute (c) to stuart cracraft. john stanback, daryl baker,
mike mcgann... why he is the first on the list?

was stuart's result was UN-offical?  it really existed as working program?

PS) imho, without regard to (c) notices, the 1st on the list should be john.
