There is (for me) some irony in that the Gullydeckel author (Martin Borriss) is
both an expert programmer:
http://gully.borriss.com/martin/index.html
and a chess playing expert:
http://www.fide.com/ratings/card.phtml?event=4611950

I believe if he wanted to put in great effort that he could write a
world-beating program but I think he lacks the interest.
