We do plan to put up an acknowledgement page because we have depended on a lot of people to help us. This includes Jim Ablett and Dann Corbitt who helped me compile and debug things (Dann has spend many hours debugging my code) as well as Aart Bik who also did some debugging and found a bug in Komodo. A number of people have helped me test - and my fear is that I would leave someone out and I did not carefully track each one. What immediately comes to mind is a guy name Djordje, Throsten Czub, Clemens Keck, Marek Soszyski and all involved in various rating agencies.Marek Soszynski wrote:Whereas komodo-203-64-ja.exe has worked fine on my Sabayon/Wine/Aquarium system, I'm afraid neither of the new komodo64-3-win engines do.
One minor point. I don't know whether somewhere you've acknowledged the people who helped you test Komodo (of whom I was the least).
There are also people who have influenced the development of Komodo (as well as probably every other program in existence) and a partial (very incomplete) list goes like this: Claude Shannon, David Slate, Bob Hyatt, Tony Marsland, Frans Morsch, John Stanback, Tony Scherzer, Chrilly Doninger, Vincent Diepeveen, Fabien Letouzey, Richard Vida, Ken Thompson, Larry Atkin, Don Beal, Hans Berliner, Mark Leffler, David Kittinger, Dan Spraklen, Kathy Spraklen, Jonathon Shaeffer, Aske Platt, Feng-hsiung Hsu, Murray Campbell, Albert Zobrist ....
I could go on and on and this is only a fraction of the people and it's impossible to document who they all are and what they did. Some of them influenced me personally perhaps more than the contributed to computer chess but they all made contributions to computer chess.
