Internal Info from CW

Post by Fernando »

The long threads originated with the coming of Nelson were almost all originated by the desire to know about who was the father of this or that engine. Let me now show you another aspect of this industry as it was years ago when it existed at all. CW has told me that in some moments so great was the demand of chess engines for all kind of platforms that he DID NOT write all the engines produced under his trademark, but were outsourced and for the same token some engines from him went to other companies without his name appearing in the credits. He told me he is sure it happened in many cases in many companies.
So we have here another reason why is so difficult in some cases to associate a name to an engine.
