Nice post! Your thoughts are similar to mine. Before I started Maverick, back in 2013, I had created primitive engines but I knew I was capable of creating something better.

This is slightly off topic but still related to chess, and it's such a revolution for the game that anyone vaguely interested in chess should know about it.

During this global crisis online chess is an ideal activity for those stuck inside, especially kids. How about encouraging friend to play chess on social media?
