Fantastic job, >especially going solo. Ferret always amazes, I have always been impressed by how Ferret plays. The thing will beat you no matter what hardware it runs on be it a multi cpu machine or a Ppro 200. This is a trademark of a good program, and is why Ferret is one of my picks. I think to old adage to many cooks makes a poor meal applys to chess programmers. There are many advantages writing the program alone. I think most of the top programs have only one programmer writing the chess engine. Fritz, Hiarcs, M-chess, Ferret, Chess genius, Rebel, Chess Master Etc. > >Are there any other programs created by a single person? > >I have a tremendous amount of respect for all the >programmers, but I'm always rooting for the underdogs. > >Good luck guys! > >-- >James
