Of course - if the best left the building, the amateurs have enough place to develop their products. But to pretend that they (the amateurs) are now better than the best commercially driven is to say the least a fairy tale. It's the other way round. The business godfathers have retired because there is no big future in this business, simply because the existing programs are strong enough for 99,999% of the Earth Population. So, what we see in ZAPPA or FRUIT is just a symptom of the actual economic crisis of computerchess. These new programs are nothing better than programs like REBEL or FRITZ who were stopped now. My best, Rolf
