According to NY times, Journalist John Markoff wrote that, Microsoft has planned
to sponser a  match between Tal and CStal 3.0. Aparently, MS has bought the
CStal project from Chris, and rewrote the whole program in .net (and partially
by BASIC and C#), CStal is likely to run on a Pentium V 3.5ghz with 3gb RAM.
Unfortunately it is still predicted by some (C)omputer (C)hess (S)pecialist
(Thorsten Czub) that CStal wont be probably able to search more than 30-40k nps
even on that marvelous piece of machine, and as so (as always) will be a bit
crippled.

Well, obviously I lost the link.
As you can see...
