It's true. He confirmed it in another thread. I look forward to seeing it.
This is good news. Zach is a talented guy and I expect that we will see interesting progress.
He's talented,honest & constant....he will rise quickly as a super programmer in the computer chess world

....and probably make some decent cash as he has Zappa's reputation under him
Can Zach give us any hints into the improvements/current strength of Rondo?

That's going to be secret for now, at least until the WCCC. Keep the competition guessing.
Kill'em all Zach....I fully support you

critter, ippolit, stockfish, komodo, the return of naum & now zappa...computer chess seems to be in something of a golden age despite all the distractions caused by one of the above . let's hope the old dogs (i'm thinking shredder/hiarcs/junior) learn the new tricks without losing their identity (fritz never had one...).
