"Deep Blue" the micro chess program would outsell Chessmaster if it had a strong enough, and pretty enough interface. And I think everyone on this board would probably try to get a copy. Obviously they felt it either 1.) wasn't worth the work or 2.) realized that without a super computer pushing it, it was weak. This is just my opinion.
