"Something's brewing..." is how I would announce that my wife is busy in the kitchen. :)
My engine was quite strong till I added knowledge to it.

I voted for option number two, but, after thinking again about the choice, I would change my vote to number qne: I feel that I would be ready to pay a small amount of money ( SMALL, please), in order to contribute to the expenses of running this project (electricity, dedicated time, wear out of materials etc...)

The old TCEC had both Houdini and Rybka.

By the way, yeah, some Japanese blogger (?) stole the tcec-chess.org domain so you can expect a new name for my project.

Consider it a compliment. TCEC was so popular that someone thought that using the domain would help sell more diet products :lol:

Unfortunately, that is common practice: there are people out there that register domains automatically on expiration; either they assume some of those expired only because the original owner just forgot to renew on time and the original owner might be willing to pay a significant amount of money to get the domain back; or they just hope to attract significant amount of traffic from old bookmarks.
A domain that I used in the past was then offered back to me for about $3000, you can guess my answer :-)
