i have no doubt that you are a highly skilled programmer . but my only thing is
i cant help thinking that the best programmers such as yourself and others
stoped looking at new ways of solving the same problems that have not gone away
in computer chess .there is a saying that says if you keep doing what you are
doing you will keep getting what you are getting .
 i have been working on a program ,that is very different , but since i lack
your programming skills , what should take 2 or 3 months is taking much longer .
but on the other hand you have had 30 years and you have done more than most
even with a world champion to your credit .but even you will admit that you have
not done what you really wanted .surely you want stronger than GM level for your
programs .you have to be a little dissapointed that even with the power of the
computers now , people still rule chess .
