There _may_ be legal reasons why we don't see a specialist version of King 3.0.
I think Johan de Konig worked full time for TASC and I beleive (but I'm not 100%
sure) that the engine may belong to TASC.

A solution that would make sense to me would be for Mindscape to license The
King (2.61 or 3.0) engine to either ChessBase or Millennium Chess System, to be
sold as a specialist engine.  This would not detract at all from the sales of
ChessMaster as it would be a completely different target audience.  In my view
this is just extra money for Mindscape.
