Rybka will be in danger in the near future. Crafty is so weak that it's meaningless to develop it with cluster. People who is wise will do the best shot with best gun.
It took me awhile to figure out the correct reason--he does not want to.

Hey, my first ever reply to this forum. Depends on what one wants from this computer chess pastime. As a player and observer of chess games, both computer and human, I view it as a sport or a fight. Close competitions are always interesting for me in sports.
This means enjoying college football as much as professional.
So the chess engines I observe most are those in the 2700-2800 range. Crafty is one that is constantly changed and offered to us.
Hopefully the programmers of such engines as Alaric, Cyrano, Movei and Collosus, to name a few, will come out of "retirement" because there is a segment of us who enjoy these also.
