If your definition of chess software only included playing programs, then it is probably fair to say that there is not too much room for improvement, EXCEPT in one key area, which is handicapping. Furthermore, attempts at making an engine play in a realistic human fashion have also been unsuccessful to date. If your definition of chess software includes databases and chess servers, then there is still plenty of innovation occuring. Take a look at Chess Assistant 8 for an example of this. But frankly, some companies are no longer innovating, for multiple reasons. They include: 1. Limited market 2. Captive market 3. Lack of vision So the bottom line is that there is still plenty of room to grow in this market. Bob
