Potential Advosary: DB the chip
30M NPS single chip, up to 4 supported
estimated price $200 single chip
strength: strong GM at tournament time controls
How do the win/tel programs strike back?
Let's discuss some proposals. Here are couple of my
suggestions:
1. Create xxxx the chip. where xxxx is Fritz, Hiarcs, Rebel, Crafty, ...
2. Multi-processor versions of current programs.
3. Hybrid solutions - chip accelerators, multiprocessor, ...
4. Play on weakness (if any), ie- DB the chip may be more expensive
than $200.00, or DB the chip may not be as fast/strong as
expected (DB beat commercials 38:2, but commercials were running
on pentium 90 machines, both s/w and h/w will be much faster/
stronger when DB the chip is released than the P90.) also, once
DB the chip is on the market, everyone will get a chance to play/
analyze and exploit it's weakness, every program/machine has
some. :)
I am sure we can come up with a few more suggestions. Ok, take pot
shots at my suggestions, but I hope the commercial programmers are
reading this. HSU is a great scientist, but he is not the only person
that can create a hardware solution. :)
