There will eventually be some information on the web about it.

However, it is still in it's infancy. And since my partner and I only
occasionally get to work on it, it will probably be a few years before I have
something concrete.

I have not read Botvinnik's ideas. I was aware they existed, but I did not want
to be influenced on how to implement a next generation strategy. Although I have
read quite a few papers on computer chess, I have tried to not let them force us
into set molds on how to think about it.

I'm hoping to get it as a playing program on ICC by the end of the year (but
that may be wishful thinking based on how slow we are progressing).

And finally, we do not have any strong players helping us yet. However, I am
sure that we will be getting some help once we get to the position planning
stage.
