I hope he is too lazy. It would be sad that someone (who writes chessprograms for a living), who wrote a strong engine, found out that making his engine stronger would only bring him 5% more income at most. Yet, the market is settled. CT would have to win 3 worldtitles to break this market. That's a lot of energy for 5%. Starting something new/newish (like the palm) would cost half the time with double the revenues. BTW He is lazy. ( we greenish, leftish people prefer "carefull with energy") I asked him 1.5 years ago to organize a Guadalopian (Guadalopees ?) championship. No response yet. Is it so much trouble to organize a championship that pays for travel and accomodation ? Tony > >It will be always like that.
