Chess Genius 6 is about double the cost than Fritz 5.32 and others; that's sad. I remember the game show Family Feud, and the asked who are the best geniuses? They are Einstein, Edison, Da Vinci, (and Alexander Graham Bell?). I would like to have Richard Lang to be one of them. Yes, Lang has (extremely most probably) changed the landscape of Eastern European chess. Russia's official sport relies directly or indirectly on Lang's tactics. Competition and change of computers are rather rapid these days. There may have been "reverse engineering" of a dozen software companies to equal Lang's code. In America, it is hard to copyright any software; after all it is all zeros and ones. If one had FischeRandom or other chess variants, Lang would be the starting point. Then, they would add an opening library along the way. There will be software improvements on chess code, but the changes won't be as large as the early 1990's. Jonathan
