Steve, believe it or not, this forum is for programmers, commercial or not. This
obsession of yours isn't healthy. Vas has been very kind to the Computer Chess
Community here, and has quite possibly developed the strongest PC Engine the
World has ever seen!

Christopher Theron also posted about Chess Tiger here and Amir and Shay of
Junior fame SMK of Shredder De Konig The King, et al.

Rybka may find a new home at ChessBase in the future or Lokasoft or both!
This will in turn be sold by ICD!

It may even go into Ressurection, so please, enough with this attitude. It's too
extreme. So he gets some advertising for free, like every other programmer,
don't be so Obsessed:(

Best Regards,
 Terry
