Did your friend happen to be a chess programmer?  Do you know if he was an ICCA
member?  Did he keep up on the latest experiments and trends in computer chess?

Computer chess is a world-wide phenomenon, and relevant research has received
much private and governmental support over the years.  Would your friend think
that IBM's multi-year effort to develop chess-playing technology yielded no
"sophistication?"

What do you think he was talking about?  The GUI?
