I don't think they got much support from people here, maybe just a couple programmers talked to them If that is the same people i am thinking of.
Well IF someone had the time and $$ it would not take much to make a good documentary about computer chess. You would just interview the majority of well known programmers on here & around,Ph.d's,computer scientists and GM's associated with computer chess and you would have a winner.

O c'mon Mark. You probably have the physique of Mr. Universe and the face of a god. Women programmers would have such sweaty palms from seeing you that they would go into debugging mode propelling them into a horny coma from which no Dr. could save them!
