Just like there are World Championship matches for Best Chess players

Yes.


What is the Money I will get if GetClub comes in top 3/ top 5.

If that were to happen, you would very likely
get caught switching back and forth between
your dummy chess screen and Fritz; don't
try it!


Because Now I have stopped improving the game further as Now even good
players are finding it difficult to win. But If I can get a Lot of
Prizes by winning against Rybka/ Fritz I may further improve it.


I wouldn't get too excited until your program
at least reaches the 2000 level.


Anyone knows how much I can earn if GetClub beats Rybka?


Enough to recover your cost for the Fritz
program, and then some!



Because I need to invest a lot for further improvements. Incase
GetClub beats Rybka how much money will I get?


It could only happen if there was a malfunction;
a *serious* one.


Because there is no point in spending more time if there is no
financial award on improving the Chess game. Else who will pay for my
Bread and Butter?


You could play Rob Mitchell a match for
$10,000... .



My temptation to beat Good players is Over. I may improve GetClub
Further if there are any World Chess Competition. And what is the
Prize Money for the Winners?


I don't know if there are any cash prizes,
but the winner's chess program can then
be sold by the tens of thousands for say,
$100 apiece. That's a lot of money, if you
quickly convert into some other currency
before the U.S. dollar becomes worthless.

In my opinion, the GetClub program still
needs a lot of work in certain areas, but it
has become tactically dangerous in some
positions. The single biggest weakness
seems to be its King-safety problem, by
which it keeps its own King hidden in a
corner and is effectively down a piece in
the endgame. That, my friend, is quite a
handicap for a wannabe Rybka challenger!


For more information, just do a Google
search on "computer chess world
championship". I think the latest one was
won by another program, but the ratings
lists show Rybka as the strongest -- even
in its outdated forms -- after extensive
testing.
