Go up one level in this thread


Let me just pick up a single point to make a direct try for a debate.

You said that Nullmove should be allowed to be implemented. Because you wouldn't
understand why someone should have published it before if he wouldn't like it
that it would be copied.

I have a totally different view. Take a novel writer. He invents a love story,
one that really sucks the reader in. Would you then also expect thst from now on
all novel writers should implement that successful story? I mean is this here
about creativity or what? We are not in mathematics. We are in a creative part
of computer sciences. You can take Nullmove as an idea, but you must invent your
own love story. If you can't then leave it better out and write a suspense
novel.

I don't know if that can be taken into computerchess programing. But I just
asked Tord why in hell every programmer must copy the last 33 inventions on the
market? Is that sort of obligation or are we losing our creativity? Please your
comments on that one. Thanks.
