Subject: When a new book about "Computer Chess"?

Author: Gregor Overney

I've looked through David Levy and Monty Newborn's "How Computers Play Chess",
W.H. Freeman, ISBN 0-7167-8121-2, 1999. - It's a fine book (did not read it yet
completely, but almost). Unfortunately, I had to go through quite some trouble
to get a copy.

When can we expect an updated version? So many great things did happen in
computer chess. Many programs with source code are available that teach how
computers play chess (ranging from tscp, .... Arasan, to Crafty). On ICC, Crafty
16.7 got a rating of over 3000(!); an incredible achievement.

All those news, the how's, and who's should be captured in a new book about this
topic.

If you know of a _new_ book about computer chess, please let me know.

Thanks,

Gregor
