Hello! I have seen here few names that sound to me like Russian. Wanted to ask them about the situation of chess programming in the ex Soviet Union but prefered to be careful. Human reaction is unpredictable. If you know something about this matter, please explain. I left Soviet Union and went into "volontary exile" exactly 20 years ago. Never came back. When I was there, beside playing occasionally in the park, I never was in chess competitions or programming. Remember only some sporadic news describing the progress in writing the chess game by Botvinic's team. Game was never done. At that time Russians were good in playing the chess game but probably never in programming. Reason - price of PC was beyond the reach of simple man and computer was not existant in the shops. How situation is now? Do we have some prominent chess programming going in the Easten Europe? If you happened to be from India or Israel (where we have now very strong software development), please explain about those countries as well. Thanks! Leonid.
