We already have that. Beginner's program: TSCP. More advanced: GNUChess. Why should Dr. Hyatt reproduce those in any degree? Where will we go to learn the advanced techniques? What he has done is shown thousands of chess programmers how to write a truly excellent, state-of-the-art chess program, with all of the most advanced techniques. Of course, he could strip it down to a shell. What will we learn from that that we cannot already learn better elsewhere? His source code is *the* place to learn these advanced techniques right now. If his distribution becomes binary only that would be a very sad day for chess programming.
