Terrified, no! Excited is more like it. He's given us a really cool code base to play with and learn from. Just like he did 10 years ago with Fruit.

I don't see this computer chess thing as a competition. More as a hobby, just like playing chess for example. You're a chess player, so imagine that programming chess engines is to me what playing chess is to you. Imagine if GM Carlsen came to your chess club. You wouldn't be terrified. You'd be really excited, and eager to learn from him, wouldn't you?
Theory and practice sometimes clash. And when that happens, theory loses. Every single time.
