What are the features of the new gui. i could not find much information or screen shots on vincents nice website. http://www.diep3d.com/ >WORLD CHAMPION only in that quad, not in whichever hardware. How do you know that zappa is ONLY good in a quad ? I think we will have to find this out when it is in the market. Have you ever seen the big machines chessbase came on a tournament with ? you would have been unable to carry them yourself. they were so big it needs few people to carry them :-)) so i really don't see the point in your last sentence. there have been other championships where the winners had big machines too. but i have never seen a championship like iceland where the winner had such an advantage over the others. therefore i am interested in this new program. as vincent said, we always bought chessbase guis, although the software (shredder, junior, hiarcs) was not able to be used in e.g. Arena or other GUIs. ONE point i want to remember is also the copy protection thing. IMO a programmer deserves the money . he worked hard in a team with people, he got the title after all. and now he really needs the money. I doubt that the copy protection thing would be easy to do so, if zappa commercial would be an UCI engine. i am sure many people would crack that and the program would be exchanged over the net without giving the programmer the money he deserves. I would like to see the money going to the programmer. and if vincents gui is a method for them, its a new thing i will buy. i can complain later, when i bought it and i am not confident with it.
