But maybee >if you do come up with a very different approch or a new technique or whatever. Indeed, Vasik is doing a very different approach to chess programming, and selling them. He is not stopping at something which will merely put Rybka in first place, and saving the rest for another year. It could be he is giving it all he's got, NOW. And that, will be the masterpiece which will hold, and even if equalled, not surpassed. This is obviously a much more honest and interesting way. In fact, In a way I'm happy that I still waited till now, and didn't give up chess and all these things yet (which would have been better for me in general, but the up side is that I got what I was waiting for, and it is not taking till 2008 or longer, which might have been the case without Vasik). Still, I was wondering if this was indeed the case. In fact, if Vasik would say he was staying around to make even better updates all at the same one-time price, I would be happy to pay $100
