This is movei's first entrance into WCCC, and it is very much still being
refined and enriched by it's author, Uri.

Being a first program, and a one-person project, it isn't surprising that the
more experienced programs (like Crafty), and the commercial programs (like
Fritz, Junior & Shredder, etc.), which have spent thousands of hours developing
and improving their program, are usually able to beat it.

The real question is how has Uri managed to find the time and the programming
ability, to develop movei into the program it has become, so far?

Uri will have learned a lot by competing in the WCCC, had an adventure, and have
lots of idea's for further improvements, for later versions.

We, of course, will be the beneficiaries of all that, since movei is free to
download!

And while it's elo may not set your bells ringing, i think it's great than an
amateur program can win even one game in a world championship match.
