Hi Reinhard
Oops: as soon as books are available for FRC, humans
chances to even get a draw vs computers will diminish
to zero. Under such prospects the development of FRC-books
is more a regress than a progress. Nowadays it is still
possible for me to draw a game against the best programs
from time to time ... but in FRC I think this will never
happen. And this will not at all courage me to play a
FRC-game vs a computer program. FRC is perhaps doomed
to failure before it has started to get some popularity.
