You guys keep spending and i will keep saving./Respectfully /william Guess you never heard of Deep Blue !!! You could make a large offer to IBM, and perhaps they would be willing to sell its rights. It was a computer designed to do one thing and one thing only, to play chess, the hardware, OS, and software was designed for that purpose only. It beat the World Champion Kasparov in a match, and it would certainly have beaten all chess computers of his time. So unless you are a multi-millionaire, I cannot see how could you afford such a machine. Meanwhile the rest of us chess fans or fanatics (some of us are addicted to chess) will go on with our lives playing and enjoying our chess software in our PC's or Mac's happily ever after. Laurence
