It will be interesting to see, though. It depends on how good the thing really is. If it turns out to be as strong and fast as is claimed, every serious chess player would want it just for analysis. Why spend hours analyzing a position when you could spend a few minutes? Or imagine the overnight analysis you could do ...(dream bubble appears...12 hrs at 30 million nps = 1,296,000,000,000 nodes...arrrgghhhh..slobber..slobber). Unclear position? What's that? ;) Having something this strong commercially available will surely have an impact on current opening fashions. IMO it should concentrate its features on analysis, and this is how it should be marketed/positioned in relation to commercial programs. Of course the marketing hyperbole will go overboard as usual, but I say bring it on. :)
