Subject: To Chrisophe Theron, about Chess Tiger and Genius and Rebel

Hi Christoph!

We have heard so many extraordinarily positive results from Chess Tiger lately,
that I can't wait to have it on my hard disk! :)

But I have another question to you:

About one year ago, there was a very interesting discussion on CCC, between you,
Thorsten Czub and some others, about how Richard Langs program Genius works. I
remember that you had some ideas which you wanted to try out, to try to simulate
Genius search behaviour. Unfortunately this thread died, when it was most
interesting.

Now, my question is, did these experiments help you to enhance the strength of
Chess Tiger? Would you say, that Chess Tiger is a program in the tradition of
published algorithms and techniques, or do you think that you are using unique
techniques, which are not present in other programs? Do you think, that Genius
uses unique techniques not found anywhere else? Do you think, you are using some
techniques which are similar to Genius ones?

And what about your work with Ed Schröder?

Of course I don't expect you to reveal any secrets about your program, but I'm
very curious about this Genius thing ;-)


Greetings,

Heiko.
