The real question is, will it make enough money to keep him in business?
I hope so, because I want to see him be able to produce even faster
versions as technology allows.  However if he is this successful, it
probably means bad news for other chess playing programs.  He might be
most successful if he ended up merging with Chessbase.  Or perhaps the
more successful company can buy the other one. :)  I think if those
two combined there would nothing left in the market for anyone else.
