I thought Aquarium was exclusively developed for Rybka. Apparently my misconception. Anyway, what happens next relative to Houdini 2 and Aquarium merge is anyone's guess and reaction.

i doubt this will make it any better.
last time i saw a chess program from a famous company on my Wii,
the program castled first with the rook and moved the kind behind. thats of course illegal. it is 2 moves after another.
so ... i doubt this hardware will create better programs.
i am very satisfied with the tablet-pc chess programs.
hiarcs is very strong on tablet pc's e.g.. - even against stockfish 2.1.1 using 2 cores against hiarcs with 1 core.

If you read the Aquarium developers' comments on Rybka Forum, it's evident Vas basically forced them to do this by having his release schedule be "once every 20 blue moons"

People can think That I'm crazy but I still believe that Houdini/houdart have direct connection with rybka/Vas

hmm..
I wander if Royal R.I.P Vas OFF Aquarium has considered Houdinis Analise bugs seeing as they make such BIG claims for there programs Anallise capabilities
Perhaps they dont read this forums posts
They and Astroboy should
