Hello,

1)Cost i.e. it will be expensive.
2)Maybe it will finaly understand the rules of chess and will not analyse any
positions with multiple kings, no kings, pawns on the first/8th rank. This would
be a first step towards a chess program of the 21st century.
3)They will do nothing that the people want them to do, even though ChessBase
have been told numerous times what is wanted.
4)They will crash (hmm that is not new).
5)People will complain because they crash and will get ignored.
6)There will be no sticker on the box saying WCCC 2005 Weltmeister.
7)There will be something (a feature) that money will be made from by ChessBase
from you, outwith the money you paid for the product. i.e. a hidden expense.
