Its not about how strong or good Brutus is now. But the promise of this new approach far excels chess software. The opening book, ALL EGTB, HUGE amounts of chess theory, the largest chess database for play reference---All of this NOT on software but inside a chips hardware is something very striking to me. You can see it occuring now in the computer hardware market. Hard drives will soon be the thing of the past with the info stored on the motherboards memory chips. Ram will soon be all integrated on the CPU. Software will just be integrated on the motherboards chipsets..ie firmware. It will and is going to happen. Just glad to see computer chess is moving in the hardware and not software direction.
