Sorry Uri, i forgot to mention that Johan has given an interview which is published a few days ago in the computerschaak magazine. A few quotes. interviewer Andre van Ark: Johan, Do you join this year the worldchampionship in Graz? Johan: "No, but i do show up there. It has become tradition that The King doesn't join at the world championship. This tradition i like to keep. (laughing) A worldchampionship is really demolishing, you're in harness a full week and then that dragging around with the computer.... But again, i do intend to look there and watch the conference and play a few games of Amazones" Andre van Ark: When does the market see a Deep-version of The King? Johan: "Look, not at the moment! It is for the average chessmaster user not at all interesting, because the majority of chessplayers doesn't have at home a Dual PC and the buy of such hardware asks each time a substantial investment because certain components you have to buy twice and the total can add up quite a bit. For that amount of money i would prefer to buy every year the best single cpu PC above a dual from which i only would use half."
