The direction of my posting nevertheless is different. Active chess players invest their time in having good chess knowledge, a good sorted and present library, a lot of game notations etc.. Programmers have invested their time in creating one or several programs. When playing email chess active players could not be forced to forget all their chess knowledge, so why demand for chess programmers to avoid their grown knowledge packed into a chess program?
