Great ideas. I will work on them for the 1,1 version.

Re: Why you are wasting our time?
Of course. That's the reason I like to make some jokes from time to time. Full seriousness, as you know, is an adolescent kind of thing.

Okay, so let's see which parts I already have or which are easy to achieve:
I'm not sure if todays CD manufacturing plants are set up, but I could inquire...
Easy, I already have the server, and I even got PHP working again.AGove wrote:Fernando, I wonder if your engine has the essentials to succeed in today's computer chess scene:
Its own forum
Hmm, with the help of CCC I should be able to get that, especially if it doesn't actually need to happen.A highly publicised match against a GM (which needn't actually happen)
I can always just integrate one of the open-source ones. Of course I'll provide their source!An integrated mp3 player
How about this one: "Ctvrt". Yes, this is actually a word in Czech (if you place the Haceks in the right places, which I'm far too lazy to do right now). Vasik could even pronounce it.A funny-sounding East European name
Somewhere else I have already thought up a scheme on how to "pass" all those tests that are used to detect clones. Much easier would be of course to simply cheat.Accusations of cheating against it
I can always just claim it; who's going to disprove me?128-bit support
I'm sure there are Casio watches that can be hacked, that have a PIC or something. As long as you don't define how strong "full strength" has to be...The ability to run at full strength on a Casio watch
This one's easy, my engine already has this feature!No understanding of FRC castling
Okay, this would actually take some work, but is well within range of an experienced professional coder.Its own GUI with as many random coloured squares and arrows as possible
Well, as long as I don't actually have to sell any copies...A higher price for the single processor versions (because they are now a minority, specialist interest)
Okay, I would have to take that out. But underpromotion really is only to get 1 or two points extra on those test suites, when does it ever really happen in a game?No knowledge, and no use, for underpromotion
Okay, this feature will have to wait for version 2.0The voice of Alekhine, from beyond the grave, passing comments on the moves
Once I figure out how to get those postits into the printer I can work something out. You didn't mention usefulness so I guess that's not a requirement for the manual.A printed instruction manual (a stick-it note will do)
Well, could we settle for a "Kasparov likeness"? Or we could keep this part separate and leave it to the publisher.On the retail box, a picture of Kasparov being beaten over the head with a chessboard
[/quote]On opening the box, the distinct smell of a dead fish

Truly funny. Thanks.geots wrote:
Nicolai, if your engine can do all that- you can name your price! Money wont be a consideration.
The Best,
So can we agree that aside from a few major points it is all achievable?
Thanks for giving me permission to embark on this interesting project of naming my price. You never said anything about paying it, of course, but that's a secondary concern.

In German, we have a saying, of which I'm sure you, Thomas, are aware, but perhaps not the others:Thomas Lagershausen wrote:Please do something serious with your time. Are you an adult?
Some people go to the cellar for laughing.

I was thinking of this one from 15/April/2005 in Moscow:On the retail box, a picture of Kasparov being beaten over the head with a chessboard

Of course we are adults, just a bit mentally impaired.

Would the final result be something like this?:nczempin wrote:Okay, this would actually take some work, but is well within range of an experienced professional coder.Its own GUI with as many random coloured squares and arrows as possible
Or does it need more randomness/arrows?
Your beliefs create your reality, so be careful what you wish for.

Well, we need more creative arrows like the green one for the black king...Ovyron wrote:Would the final result be something like this?:nczempin wrote:Okay, this would actually take some work, but is well within range of an experienced professional coder.Its own GUI with as many random coloured squares and arrows as possible

Re: Warning: X1.0 Program Going Commercial
Ovyron, Is that a screenshot of Chessmaster 11? I'm impressed. It looks like it has a very, very deep understanding of the position.
