I'm very positive about the hardware developments. Once again, chess is being the 'fruit fly', the ideal vehicle with which to experiment to demonstrate the benefits of new computer technologies and architectures ... also the ideal marketing tool as IBM demonstrated. And, in this case, those new developments will apply to more than the domain of chess, or 2-person zero-sum games, or whatever. Parallelism has always promised much - shared-memory / clustered-architecture / 'GIMPS', 'SETI', 'cancer-search' communities on the web. FPGAs also promise parallelism and application-specific performance. Enjoy the journey, and the fact that our 'interest' has practical, useful spin-off. g
