Wanted: A successor to Chest

[diep]

I think you're operating under a false assumption, namely that programmers of chess engines write chess engines because they like to offer something to other people. Speaking for myself, and I guess this goes for many others, this is not the case: I write a chess program for my own entertainment, and I release it for free on the off-chance that someone else may find something interesting in it.

Personally I have no real interest in writing a mate-only solver. Maybe a special mode to get Jazz to find the fastest mate if it already found a mate, but I think I'll only do that if I'm bored.

Most here underestimate how many have been paid to produce clones.
