I think you need to be realistic. Think about what you are saying... you want to make world-champion chess program?!?!? Get real :-) I'm not sure how you would go about this, but it's a lot more difficult than you make it out to be. Maybe you should set your sites a little lower?? Hey! their is always room for another winboard program! I'm not saying you can't make a world-champion chess program Greg, but I think the chances are quite slim. Anyways, good luck! I think you will need it :)
