True; but then most strong chess programmers are weak chess players. >He has also no respect for human GMs at all. Then why is a human GM on the Hydra team?

It seems to do pretty well in semi-open positions as well. Maybe time will tell about closed positions (if Hydra ever allows them). >Crafty on that Hardware would smash Adams as well. Adams would have won all 6 games by forfeit, Crafty won't run on that hardware. :-) >Chrilly is IMO a worse chess programmer than SMK or Amir Ban or Frans Morsch. SMK, Amir Ban, and Frans Morsch (and others) are excellent programmers. However Chrilly has produced the strongest chess playing entity ever created, so your strong statement needs strong proof. What is your evidence; just because Michael Drexel says it? Can you support all these claims with anything other than opinion? Besides Chrilly knows things most other programmers do not; he understands electronics hardware and as well as the software. This allows him to do things others can't, and to enter a realm where other skills besides the ability to program PC's becomes important. Using these skills allows him to do things other programmers can't, just like knowing how to program allows programmers to do things others can't. This hardly seems like a reason to bash Chrilly's skill or accomplishment. I don't think SMK, Amir Ban, or Frans Morsch could have done what Chrilly has done. -Robin >Michael > > > You think people in any other sport can all of a sudden beat >>the worlds best, when they have proven in the past they do not have world class >>talent. >>Of course if someone has the stats to show me that Chrilly was already world >>class programmer and was winning against world class programmers---then I will >>have learned about Chrilly.
