The rumor: a chess hardware project, KT in lead, Chrilly Donninger (Nimzo) being
responsible for the software part. The thing under the name Brutus will play in
the upcoming Paderborn tournament. NPS 5-10M.

I have no idea how much of the above is true however the rumors about this new
hardware thing came to me via several independent sources long time ago. I guess
we soon (Paderborn) will find out what is true and what is not.
