According to the SSDF list my own creature Chess Tiger has improved by 74 elo
points in approx. 18 months. That's the difference in rating between Gambit
Tiger 2.0 and Chess Tiger 12.0 (with some uncertainty though).
I would not call this a breakthrough, but chess programs are improving, little
by little.
I don't expect any breakthrough in the future, but one thing for sure: last
year's programs are outdated, and it repeats over and over every year.
