I am not that sure that others would be interested in buying these rights. I
don't believe there is enough money on the chess market to sell the chips
profitably. The computer chess market is very small. The only money there
is, in my opinion, lies in a match DB-Kasparov. This third match interests
people outside the chess-computer lovers. And for this match to become
possible Hsu is surely to be needed. He is the link from Chiptest to DB, besides
being the creator, of course.
