I think it wouldn´t take him much time to modify Crafty to run on a 64 Xeon processor cluster.

I didn´t wrote and also do not think Chrilly is a worse programmer than the above mentioned programmers. I wrote he is a worse chess programmer IMO. I assume he started to work on Brutus because he didn´t see much chances to be competitive anymore with Nimzo.
