To which, ChessBase answers:So my first message is of course congratulations, it is a superb job, well done. But from my own experience I can tell you that complacency may threaten your success. Success very often is the enemy of future success. With all the work you have done ChessBase turned into some kind of Microsoft in the world of chess. So I wish – and this is my second message – that you will move on, by doing your great job, but creating something new and elevating chess computers, chess programs, the virtual world of chess to a new level. Changing the world once is not enough.
So what do you think, guys, will be this "new revolution in chess and computers?"A note to Garry Kasparov from the ChessBase team: We appreciate your final admonition and will take it very seriously. Will you give us three months to introduce the new revolution in chess and computers?
My proposals:
- a new strong chess engine (Houdini 2.0?) ?
- CB going into the cloud fad, and providing online CPU power, à la Rybka Cluster ?
- the two previous proposals combined? ( = Houdini Cluster ? )
