I paid $76.00 USD for M-Chess Pro back in 1993 and Rybka is at least 500 elo points stronger. Then again, Rybka is much stronger than the $14,000 Mephisto Vancouver unit. Remember that in 1993 $80.00 was worth what $125.00 is today, assuming a 3.5% inflation rate. What would it take to get you guys to pay $70 to $80 USD for Rybka. 1. 100,000,000 move opening book? 2. Full 6 man EGTBs with partial 7 man sets? 3. A soft sexy voice with an animated face that sucks on a bishop while saying "Hi--I'm Rybka....Wanna play with me?" You would choose male or female voices. 4. Insider trading knowledge about Berkshire-Hathaway stocks? 5. What else? TJ
