New J.A Compiles

[Frank Quisinsky]

I think chess is the epitome of art.
But a chess program is never finished.
The journey is the destination, and the path is always uncertain.

And with these logical, clear, and completely unassailable words, the question of whether or not to release a chess program simply doesn’t arise.

I’m quite clear on this: anyone who has argued that way hasn’t understood the point of science. Science means research, and that applies especially in the field of chess. There’s absolutely no doubt about that.

As I said, you can sugarcoat everything to make it look the way you’d like the world to be. Reality usually looks quite different.

Well, it is just my personal opinion. Artists do not like to show unfinished pictures. Not everybody looks on their "precious" code as an art object.

My code is as disgustingly ugly and worthless as I am. That's why I don't release it.
