getting kind of OT, but i can't resist: the chinook team "returned the favor" by
retiring and leaving the impression that they had practically solved checkers.
like 'DB vs PC programs of today', checkers players and many people interested
in computer checkers have the same kind of misconception that chinook was much
better than today's PC programs, although in the chinook case the hardware
balance is already much in favor of today's PCs...
