Walter If I was a programmer,which I'm not,I'd resent this comment because the inference appears to be that they aren't trying hard enough.I'm personally satified with the incremental improvements and while I too would love to see dramatic increases in computer chess playing strength I accept that it probably just isn't possible at this time.I don't think money is really going to change that situation.
