Hi Mr: It is not neccesary and a prerequisite to imagine in detail how something can happens in order it can happens. On the other hand, the accumulation of critical mass of resources tends to give results in any field. Not ever and not neccesarily in a year, that magical lapse, but happens. When science advanced the faster? In the age of the great genuses we see in the books or now, with thousands of guys colaborating directly or indirectly trought competence and mutual knowledege of his individual works? Any human endeavour and his progress on time are the result of colaboration, even when it seems to be an isolated effort. The question, at last, is; which way of colaborating is the best in certain circunstances. Individual guys trying to outperform everybody BUT acquainted with his personal discoveries OR a direct division of labour between and inside a team? I suppose that MS knows what is best for each kind of work, knows how to get the most and best from his people and so it could do the same if chess programming was one of his goals. Don't forget in this very momnto Ed Schroeder and CXhristophe Theron are colaborating and althoght they are only two programmers, they have recognized very soon great fruits just from looking what the other guyd was doing since ever. I cannot see how that method, multiplied ten times, could not give results Truly yours fernando
