Look, it really bothers me, but if you want to improve a program CCC is worthless after a rating of 2200. Obviously the commercial guys have no interest in sharing their secrets (I don't blame them) but somehow their attitude has rubbed off on all the amateurs. Uri is a prime example of this: the guy has 300+ (!!) pages of results in the CCC engine, but he has _never_ talked at _all_ about what goes on inside of Movei. We don't even know something as basic as whether Uri uses the mate threat extension. I've basically stopped contributing anything other than periodically smacking Cracraft. Bob is really the only one who actually talks about what he does, although some might say that open sourcing crafty has caused more problems than solutions, considering all the clones that we have had. I guess if I want to talk to good chess programmers I have to show up at a World Championship. anthony
