The Rybka_v1x_customers Yahoo Group has less than 600 members. So, how many
people paid for Rybka (or Fruit) *instead* of paying for a ChessBase product?
Not all that many, I suspect. In fact, the more buzz and hype about computer
chess, whether it's caused by Rybka or anything else, the better for ChessBase
since they don't sell engines only. Anyway, the latest Fritz is, as usual, still
in the top handful of engines.
