first of all chessbase doesnt needs to pay money for every version, to call it
their program, they can pay the same way they do to the author of "junior" and
others.

_you_think_ chessbase is going to release young2 _you_dont_know_ for sure !!

there is a big differance.
IMHO there is little chance for another cd like that.

right information wrong meaning. the quote that chessbase said was like this
"chessbase will participate the tourny ALONG with sos and crafty"

because we all know that bob is running crafty and paying for it not chessbase.
even to think about something is stupid when we know that bob is involved ....
