Nice to attach a face and a personality with the program's author. I wish they had gone into his formal studies more. He studied at MIT? Anybody have some detail about that? The comment about his having learned much, in regards to search, from Fruit, is a great clue. So he gets that search, adds some to it, then tacks on a monster evaluation for middle-game stuff, and voila, Rybka. Although I have the source code for Fruit 2.1, the thought of going through any other person's program is really anathema to me nowadays. I get a feeling it will "taint" me. And of course, that just taint so. So what is so special about Fruit 2.1's search? Anyone analyzed it care to comment? Thanks, Stuart
