Go up one level in this thread


All's I really want to know is wheather the 32 bit version of Genius6 will
really be free, and when we could expect it to appear. (Anyone have some inside
information?).

Chess Engines are so strong now that I really don't care that much about the
(phony), advertising, if they make up for it later.  Richard Lang was (and
likely stil is), one of the very best programmer's for many years, but even
Einstein (as someone else around here said), did his best work when he was 25,
and then, 'evened out', for the rest of his career.  Anyway I am very pleased
with the interface of Millenium Genius, and I think its a small slip that they
din't have the latest & greatest engine already avialble.  I hope everyone will
give these guys a break.  Of course I am a 'Moderate' :)
