<grin>  Yeah, I've been thinking about picking up Deep Junior for quite a while
now.  AFAIK, ICD still doesn't have it, so I don't feel bad waiting.

Chessbase had an interview with Amir up on their site a while back.  (I just
went to find it again now, but it's hiding on me.)  I read what was presumably
an english translation; anyway, his philosophy was "do whatever works", which I
think is exactly the right one.  If I were to write a chess program, that's what
I'd go by. :-)
