So it seems we are willing to show something that is just less than state of the art and something that is simple. Suppose EXChess advances (and surely it will). Now what? Could you have learned everything as quickly as you did without having a working example to trace through? I think everybody who has already learned does not seem to mind much if we lock the door now. How would it have been if the decision were 5 years ago?
