Fernando I usually like reading what you post, and this one is one of the best. Very ispirational how you see bob do all the hard work and get little except self gratification out of his work, then he releases his source code to the public so they can take advantage of him. And you make him out as some type of hero for doing this and getting it stuck to him by certain people. He should never have done it, of course peope would take advantage of this situation and did. I mean if you invent something, do not protect it and then give it away for nothing. Well then you deserve to get people abusing you. For all his hard work that bob has done, it is pathetic what has happened to him, but he would have to have known that what is regarded as the strongest freeware engine these days, well how could someone not want to take advantage of it when you had it strait to them. Stuff the begginers, let them work on some chess engine, or make their own, why give them something that is already one of the best, yes they will improve upon it most likely, but the person who did it will be left with nothing except furthering the programming work of other people. I fear now with what bob has done, that more people will use his code and go past him and he will be left lagging behind. Big mistake is what he done. You make him to be some type of Pioneer of the advancement of chess. Well lets hope it does not ruin a great man because of scum people out their who abused what he did. Regard Micheal
