Go up one level in this thread


i have only read about 2 lines before deciding you were insane .surely you are
not talking about programmers who earn there living with chess . how could they
continue if all there trade secrets were out ??????????????????????????????
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
i mean crafty can do it because bob does not make his living that way , if he
did he would not give his secrets away .you must be a whiz in ecconomics .

in saying what you did is like saying pepsi should lay out instructions so
anybody could make it and not need them anymore .do you really understand what
you are saying??????????????

by the way how old are you ?? do you earn your own living ? it is a hard cruel
world out there . i have worked very hard thankless jobs (army infantry , max
security prison guard) until i finally got a business of my own . loose lips
sink ships .there is severe compitition in chess programming and a programmer
may only have 1 thing in his program that keeps him above the rest .giving away
that secret may cause him to find another line of work , perhaps one of those
thankless jobs working for some one else .
