The producers' golden age still has not begun yet! In those times in future where computers are not to beat in chess human chess still will be as it is today - but we will have the machines as a guide, a dictionary, a help. Every chess player will have such a machine at home. No matter if he is a GM or a casually playing amateur. All schools will have such machines and so on. So I hope that you are not worried about your personal future as a member of the elite of programmers and businessmen... BTW it is remarkable how you and your team treat human GMs with respect and often one eye closed, or were they both closed? Excuse me for the perhaps missed meaning of my sensible irony. I think you are on the right way to come along with the chessplayers. You know well where I discovered more of the contrary of such good relations... Hans Gerber
