This article in American Chess Journal, claims that Dvoretsky reputedly the
worlds best chess trainer is or was writing a chess program does anyone know
anything about it?


"Profile | The World's Best Chess Trainer
     Timothy Hanke

          Dvoretsky is now hard at work on an interactive computer program that
will solve [an important training problem] by incorporating his entire
          collection of positions organized by theme ... I asked Dvoretsky how
much the program will cost. "It will be very expensive," he told me. I suggested
that
          he might sell more copies and make more money if he offered it at a
lower price. He replied, "I don't care if I sell more copies. This material is
not for
          everyone." He is proud of his work as a trainer over the past 20 years
and considers this computer program to be a kind of summation of his
          achievement. It seems to be a matter of principle for him that his
work must not go cheap.
