Go up one level in this thread


I am pretty certain that also other authors than Bob could become state of the
art. But someone like Fabien must hurry up if he wants to equalize with Bob
within the next twenty years - concerning the "giving" to computerchess. I must
honestly say that I almost detest someone like Ole-Per (spelling?) who even
prefers to remain anonymous.

It is one thing to be a good programmer. But it's another aspect if you are
perceiving yourself as a member of a field. What I've read from Fabien was
mostly (from the interview with Quisinsky) that it should be allowed to copy as
much code as possible from other programs. Perhaps you remember. I support the
integration of already invented tools but I would also like to see the reverse
and it would disturb the picture if now after a first little success the two
winners would go commercial. Hey, let them do what they want, but I wouldn't buy
it. Collectors might well be satisfied.

BTW what is actually going on with MOVEI. I was away for some time and can't
find its news.
