Subject: 32-piece tablebases (Philosophical Question)

Author: Mike Hood

(Please don't make technically based replies to this post... I know that what
I'm suggesting is currently technically impossible and will remain impossible
for many years).

Imagine that you've heard of an unknown programmer who has managed to create
32-piece chess tablebases. Due to his revolutionary new compression techniques
the tablebases can be fit onto one CD, and he plans to make them commercially
available. Now, what would you do?

1. Wait for the release of the 32-piece tablebase and recommend it to all your
friends as the greatest thing since sliced bread.

2. Buy the rights to the product off the programmer and make sure you are the
only one who can use it in your bid to become world champion.

3. Shoot the programmer and destroy his work before he has a chance to publish
it.
