And what would the top programmers do with this money? They can't program many more hours/day than they already do. I suppose they could direct the efforts of a huge team of programers, but I doubt today's PCs could do as well as Hydra no matter how many PC programmers you threw at it. Many of them already get some GM help, but that only goes so far. Most certainly wouldn't know how to build custom chess specific hardware. So just how would they use more money to make a chess monster? I know; they could hire a hardware guy and software/hardware project manager, like Chrilly. No matter how skilled the programer, software only goes as far as the hardware that it runs on. -Robin
