He is still working on it.

You can expect whatever you'd like.  It got roughed up pretty badly on
playchess.com by top commercials on top hardware.  But it's done well in
championships.

>Expected date of release?

Chrilly said over 2 years before it's a commercial product in a recent
interview.  If it's strength doesn't substantially grow over the next 2 years,
I'd say longer than that.  No one is going to pay $100+ for a PCI card that can
only beat Junior or Fritz "sometimes".  You can always make Junior or Fritz
stronger by upgrading your computer.  Brutus can run on a P2-266 and be the same
strength as if it was run on a Quad Opteron.
