I know it but I believe that everything that is done is not done well and if there is going to be a motivation of big money for software that is done well then you may see software done well that is 200 elo better than the software of today in less than 2 years. A prize of 10M$ for the best software and 5M$ for the seond best can be a big motivation for people with the right talent who do not develop chess programs. Uri
