That game was only a demonstration that Rybka's extremely good play also can be
improved. There are no deadlock in computer chess unless a lot of people was
under opposite imagine.

We're actively discussing with Vasik different technical details. I'm sharing my
sources with Vasik. He is sharing with me his research results. I think it's
good. I never said that Rybka's play is bad and so on. Well, from some point of
view we're concurrents. But it's not a war, but, I think, more the friendly
competition.

In Russia it's much easy to invite chess professionals to engine development.
Nickolai and other professionals helping us to improve engines. My idea was only
to provoke more interest for professionals participation in our work.
