 Yeah very good news! I hope they will keep the price as it is offering the book
also, so i can start thinking of buying the 1.2 version......

 But i hope a knowledge based programs like Rybka to obtain the knowledge needed
to solve problems like the following easily. I don't really know why (almost)no
program has not the right knowledge to solve that kind of problems. Black King
is isolated and the Queen can't mate the white King by herself. White Pawn is
protected and if black Pawns moves then white Pawns will capture it so we have
the same principle again!

A draw.....
