Go up one level in this thread


I recently met a former Microsoft department head, who is now a chess coach and
using many of the availble playing programs, databases & tutorials.  What he
told me I found truly amazing!  He said that the currently availble programs
were from a programming point of view rather unsophisticated and trivial in
design.  He suggested that if Microsoft (or other large software maker), decided
to get involved in creating these things, the results would (or at least could),
blow away the currently existing things in the marketplace.

Honestly, I think he is wrong about this, but I certainly would like to see a
poll question about it, to see what other's think.
