Abstract
In 1984 J. H. Przytycki and P. Traczyk introduced the notion of Conway algebras. They had proved that for every Conway algebra there exists an invariant of links in ℝ3, which takes values in that algebra. In this paper we show that any link invariant obtained in this way is not better than the Homflypt (Jones-Conway) polynomial.
