I read all of them.  Every chess author can teach me something I don't know.

Amir Ban used to post here (not so much anymore).  He was very insightful.

Christophe Theron posted here frequently, until he got distracted by a beautiful
woman and started putting more energy into family than computer chess.  CAN YOU
IMAGINE?

You did not mention Ed Schroder.  What an oversight.  He is the most helpful
next to Robert and Bruce.  He also posts here less than before.

SMK has made some posts here, but not a great deal.  Obviously, if he talks, we
should listen.

Vincent has some very good ideas.  He sees things in a very polar way (it is
either great or crap -- he even pans his own excellent program when it makes
some small error).  Vincent is very willing to share his ideas.  I read all of
his posts except when he is locking horns with Dr. Hyatt.

Amateur programmers with simple engines sometimes have very insightful posts and
novel ideas.  Uri Blass has some ideas that are rather unique.  Omid has some
very interesting ideas.  Daniel Shawul is another who is very interesting to me.

Some others that used to post here but not as much lately:
De Konig (of Chessmaster fame)
SmarThink's author (shame on me, I can't remember his name -- likes Botvinnik's
ideas a lot)
Peter McKenzie (Warp/Lambchop)
Bas Hamstra (Best looking code of all time, I mean: REALLY BEAUTIFUL!)

Lots of others, of course.
