Seems that Kasparov turned him down, flatly, when he wanted a written committment for a rematch so that he could secure investors to fund the new machine. So far as I know, that is now a dead issue... I do have some questions for Hsu when I have time... one being to ask him about his last program (DB II). I still don't quite understand how he gets a branching factor of 3, without null-move or something similar. And if the depths he produced in the output (15-19 plies in middlegame, 17-18 typical) are really happening, that fits just right with a program using null-move + singular extensions, searching at 200M-1B nodes per second. I'm definitely interested. :)
