It seems that if we give enough description (deep) for every move, and then also
if the text description is accurate, then I do not think some programmers would
want this. Play 300 games and it would be like reading the source code. Too
revealing for one that wants to be secret about code.

Also, to write code that will get a chess program to a certain level is one
thing------to be able to put a programs chosen move or position into text is
another.

also, just because a programmer writes code that is currently beating Shredder9
on 4 core, I do not think he knows exactly, in full detail why. He knows his
testing, beta feedback, and feedback after the public release.
