In my opinion is 50 Euro to many money for a chess engine. I believe that most commercial Programmers cannot live from chess programming and the programmers of Junior or Hiarcs have full time job not in chess programming. people who have money to buy computers are not poor people who cannot pay 50 Euro for chess software. <snipped> >Commercial software is in my opinion only interesting the GUI developments, not >the engine. 99,9% from all people can not win against Knightx (for an example). >A good GUI is important and here we have also strong developments (see Scid, >Arena and much other software). I disagree. I think that there are correspondence players that for them only the engine is important and not the GUI. > >My question for you: >If we have no longer firms which for sell chess engines what do you think what >commercial programmers make?

I do not know but I suspect that part of them may stop to develop their programs and start to do something else like developing programs for other thinking games(like go). Uri
