No need whatsoever for speculation. Richard _is_ working seriously and full-time on the 32 bit engine, intended to be significantly stronger than CG5 on modern hardware. I concede that in terms of pure playing strength (ignoring books), the difference between say CG5 and CG3 was not more than between R8 and R9. Richard is well aware of these sorts of views. That is why there is a delay. When it arrives, and I believe it is not imminent, the intention is to depose Fritz from the top of the list. Richard has been #1 for *far* longer than anyone else. Underestimating him or his persistence may be unwise, therefore! BTW it is I/O (for a _true_ Windows product, unlike CG5 for Windows) that is also slowing down development. If you have any "chessic suggestions" you would like Richard to read, Jedi Master or not, please post them here in CCC. Kind regards fca PS: Do not worry, Thorsten, re "marketing suggestions". The next Genius engine is surely not going to be sold as a module for Fritz. :-)
