Well, maybe for most programs. I intend for my evaluations to not only be
dynamic based on the conditions of the position (not an easy thing to compare to
other dynamic evaluations), but also to have learning features for the
evaluation (and not ad hoc in the first place). Of course, I have many ideas
here that are merely a paragraph written down in the design spec here, a comment
in the code there, etc. It would be nice if I at least got the thing working at
some major level, but at 4 hours every 2 weeks on average, it's still slow
going. Maybe I will have a good amateur program ready for the next world
championships.
