I think most of the >professional chessplayers and serious chess hobbyist will buy. He can easily get >1 million orders. 1 billion nodes/sec, mmm....:) There are 3 possibilities: 1)Hsu is not interested in making money He is interested only in beating kasparov or kramnik. If deep blue chip can beat all the top programs of today then I expect people to buy it(but people need first to see a proof by a match against the top programs of today when Hsu does not have the opponent). 2)Hsu does not believe that he can make money from a new chip or IBM does not allow him to make money from a new chip(I do not understand a lot of details about it for example why does IBM forbid him to discover all the details about deep blue evaluation) It make IBM looks bad and it seems that they have things to hide. 3)Hsu knows that he cannot create a chip that is better than the top programs of today.
