[Michael Sherwin]

I have been trying to trick someone else into doing this for me by offering up the prestigious "coauthor" title, but have had no takers.

I too have offered to give co-authership to any qualified person that would be willing to help me with RomiChess. I did this at least three times and have had no takers. It would seem that people that are willing to be 'programming helpers' are rare and that only top level programs like Toga attracts them.

I made a private 'deal' with an author that if I could strengthen his engine by a certain amount then he would do for RomiChess what he could. However, his code was rather too cryptic for me to work with and therefore I could not hold up my end of the bargin. Oh well.

Another author that I voluntered to help if I could, this time for nothing in return, also met with failure as I was never able to get his program to compile.

The road to hell is paved with good intentions. Anyway, for the vast majority of chess program authors, the road is also a very solitary one.
