Is the Naum chess engine back in development?

Post by daniel71 »

Did the engine author decide to continue working on this project? I would buy it but don't want to throw away money on a dead project.
Does anyone have contact with Aleksandar Naumov and know if will stay with this even if its just part time? The recent Naum 4.1 is a good sign he still has the interest and drive to reach the top.

He's indicated that Naum 4.2 will come out at some point with further improvements, but I don't believe that he's made any promises regarding Naum 5+, or posted clear intentions for any extended Naum future. Naum is a great engine, and the author certainly deserves your support!
