There is no personal attack, I just simply think that it is more him pushing an
idea of a wish he has in creating this chess chip. I do not think he has the
money, resources, or backing in which to make, test, and sell this chip.
Simply put, the market would be tiny. Thus the price quoted would be maybe
three, fours times higher than what was stated.
No company would want to market this let alone make it. From what I hear to make
a chip, especially a speciality chip costs a fortune.
I think I am right on this, and as for my comment on the DB - Kasparov match, I
stand by my comments.
Read College and University papers, and see how many of these types of comments
are made and written on various subjects, and see how many actually come into
reality.
I think if people really look at this and take into account the finance and task
involved. I think like I always said hot air.
Maybe 10 years down the line it will happen, and like I said, someone with more
money behind them will make it happen, and I do not think it will be him.
He could not even keep DB alive after beating the world champion. And after you
see some of the games, you will see why people would not want to invest more
time, money and effort into the DB project. IMHO
