It is said that there will be no new version this year.

I doubt that Marcus has Beta-options for Chessmaster and Zarkov is strong but
not that strong to make such a jump.

Why ain't it Hiarcs8? It is the program that was mentioned first this year to be
in beta-state and which has the potential to go ahead. Tiger, Rebel OK, MChess
and Genius also. Shredder is possible because of Marcus' good contact to Stefan.
Which CB engine could it be? Isn't it much too early for CB to release a new
version, even if it is now just in beta-state?
