Based on the mails of the comrades in this topic, I'd like to add annother aspect or view : sure, performance increase is allway good - but shouldn't it be worthy to overthink, what ELSE the product - whichone ever - can do for it's owner ? To stick to R 10, in this case, viewing the homepage, the product offers the purchaser a complete little chess world of it's own. For nothin'..... I only wanna mention the opening books, which were overworked by R9 on 24 hours daily - all these results ( books ) can be downloaded for free - togehter with I dunno how many games.....ect. I suppose - not perfect under all circumstances - but which product is it ? And of course CB + Genius offer similar advantages - but if one visits this - yet commercial - site, he recognizes, that them dutch folks down there really do + give alot for our common hobby - for free..... this was no advertising - and Ed ain't my cousin :-) just my opinion, that 20-40 ELO aren't ALL, that count.
