Have a look at
<A HREF="http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Campus/9925/">Ilya P.
Kozachenko's Site</A>,

he posted here some time ago that he was interested in implementing some
of this ideas.

Excerpt from his page:
--[Botvinnik Project]--

I have started working under the so-called "Botvinnik project". I think you've
heard about works of that russian
World Chess Champion in Computer Chess (see reference). I've discovered that
most of his ideas, applied and
arranged in modern manner, may become revolutionary in CC field. So, I decided
to test his ideas in views of modern
high-speed hardware, and first results are promising. I am going to go to Moscow
to read his archives also this year.
Everybody wants to cooperate w/me on working under this project through
Internet, is welcome. I think, some related
software will be available @this page up to middle '99.
