I wonder what is the reason that programmers release in the last months very strong engines instead of selling them and making some money from them. I believe that the programmers of Tao,List and you could make some money from selling the engine either to chessbase or to Rebel[Not a lot(and my guess is that you could make something like total gain of 1000$ per year if you are 50-100 elo weaker than the top commercial programs)] but something is better than nothing). I wonder if you are going to do your program commercial if you do another progress. Saying that you are 50-100 elo weaker than the top commercial programs is only a guess and the 1000$ per year is only a guess and I have no idea if I am right. Uri
