I try it now with a "Langscheidt" translater. Hm, I understand not complete the message ... I mean in chess fora, like CCC or WinBoard Forum, we can find a lot of chess programmers. On different days much more programmers as non programmers. I believe that 1-3 programmers can make money with chess engines in ~ 2-4 years. Only the GUI is for the future important. I mean only to buy 1.000 - 2.000 CDs from product a or b 1x in the year is not enough for a full time job. - games are out - engines are very soon out (think so, I mean engines for make profit) - training CDs are out for me And now? Chess Server? On the other hand, we have interesting GUI projects, like Arena or SCID. In 2-4 years we have maybe also 30 or more WB / UCI freeware interfaces. Furthermore, we have two groups of programmers: A) Programmers which used the programming information on webpages or in chess fora and discuss about it! B) Programmers which search information but not discuss about it. The commercial programmers are to 95% in Group "B" The amateur programmers are to 40% in Group "A" For sure all with own ideas! In my opinion a very good idea to create a password protection webpage for programmers. The complete information about possibilitys to write a chess engine with a forum and different downloads. To this topic we have different good webpages but not a main / index webpage. Best Frank
