Today we have more resources and information available to assist in writing
strong programs than in the past. There are strong open source chess programs,
many computer chess websites that discuss computer chess programming techniques,
all kinds of journal articles, online discussions, and so on. It still takes a
talented mind to create something like Ruffian, but I think the information age
accelerates the process.
