Thanks but I have 2 comments:

1)I do not have to do it inside the engine
There are many programmers who do not care about the behaviour of their program
in illegal positions.

2)Most of the programming time is not done for this task.

3)I do not agree that the good new programmers don't stand a chance.
It seems that the new Fruit(still not released) is already at similiar level to
Fritz and there is a good chance that next fruit will be better than shredder9.


I think that maybe reading fruit and understanding everything in it may be the
most productive step to do to improve Movei in the future.

I do not think that it is an easy task and I guess that it should take at least
some months to do it.
