Do you think that its possible that he didnt improve the chessprogram because
there wasnt much competition? Do you think that Shredder has history pruning? If
not he can gain about 40 elo from adding history pruning to his eval like many

Just an opinion, I am not a programmer, now SMK has the fruit code to look at.
