I don't think you're getting the point about CM, or any other commercial
chessproduct for that matter. First, CM is not made by one "creator",
but by a team of multiple programmers, where one is dedicated to the
engine alone, various designers, testers, not to mention no less than
five GMs giving tutorials and advice.


And even if I could sell the work of one man for five million dollars I
would be off and do it myself, not tell you how to do it - Hide quoted text -

Indeed. It takes money to make money.

If I remember correctly, the typical cost of the development and
marketing of one version of Chessmaster was around $750,000. That was
for CM8 and CM9, so the numbers might be bigger (or smaller) now --
but not by much.

So Cost of designing GetClub Chess is also arround $750,000. How earn
the money I have spent in designing it is a big question.
