And all I have to do is wait. :) Agreed, but from a new Deep Blue like super computer project (e.g. Deep Scrappy) new achievements could come faster to computer chess. It's like for the car productions industry, they profit a lot from the Formula 1 and other racing series, because they produce a huge amount of effort. :) So from Deep Scrappy and a new super computer chess league, sponsored by the richest companies on this planet, with new revolutionary anti-human and other programming concepts, the CC community could profit a lot.
