Go up one level in this thread


Joshua,

I don't think monopolies work.  So I don't think that if Chessbase gets a
monopoloy it will be to the benefit of computer chess.  I also think that
Chessbase doesn't opperate at the source code level and hence the idea that if,
"Mchess, Shredder, Nimzo, Chess Tiger, Gambit Tiger , Gandalf, Hiarcs,   Fritz ,
Junior, and so on and puts it all together = +30 ELO" is not applicable.
Chessbase operates at the DLL (aka *.eng) level.

That said I think plain old Winboard will give ChessBase competition, if only in
devaluing the chess engines.
