I think that he was better programmer than other chess programmers in his time.

I guess that the talent that was needed in the past was different and assembler
was important in the past when today compilers got better so knowledge in
assembler is relatively unimportant.

I also think that Richard lang did not have a good design and this is the reason
that at some point he could not improve Genius without rewriting it and he did
not want to invest time in rewriting it.
