{IMO} The best in the world are [in no particular order]:
0. Deep Blue team
1. People who have topped the SSDF
2. People who have won a WCCC or WMCCC
Mostly, they are programmers. Hans Berliner was a chess expert, but also a
programming expert. Deep Blue team had GM advisors.
I think, to be successful, you will have had some kind of input from all of the
above. [Chess expert, Programming expert, Game theory expert, hardware expert].
Probably hardware expert is not as important as the others, but it certainly
would not hurt any.
