I agree with this. Just because you post on the Computer Chess Club doesn't mean
you're an idiot. Bob is obviously an expert at computer chess and he has
significant experience with the specialized hardware involved.

I wouldn't say that I'm an expert at hardware, but I have been studying digital
logic for the past two years and I know a thing or two about it. Meanwhile, I'm
not sure Greg can draw a schematic of _any_ PLA block... much less know why they
would/wouldn't work for particular algorithms...
