Unless you're one of those freaks that enjoy that sort of ting, computer chess is definitely a waste of time. No programmer has ever made his fortune making chess programs, and i suspect no one ever will. In my opinion, this is a good thing: The free exchange of ideas and generous community spirit on forums such as this one would be impossible if we were in it for the money, and progress would be a lot solwer if we all kept our ideas to ourselves. It would also be less stimulating intellectually, and dry spells of creativity would be more common. More of us would give up before our projects even reached fruition. So from a strictly financial point of view, you're right: We're wasting time, and thank God for that! Svein
