 * Home * People * Vadim Demichev**

a Russian chess programmer, and proponent of [|open source] and not [|reinventing the wheel]. He is author Grapefruit, which is based on Toga and Fruit and therefor licensed under the GPL, and GullChess, which is in the [|public domain]. He published his programs and source under the [|pseudonym] //ThinkingALot//. In computer chess forums, he appears as competent and knowledgeable interlocutor, and courageously represents his opinion. His fair-minded and unselfish stance is appreciated, but there seems a dissent about the concepts of sharing ideas or algorithms with pseudo code, versus sharing concrete code - other than low level snippets like BitScan, Population Count or Magic Bitboards with a deterministic one to one input-output relationship, and about affecting competition and commercial interests in computer chess.
