Hi Wit,

prices of the Chess Academy packages were every time very fair as far as I
know... But I have one question: The Goliath engine shipped with the Goliath
Blitz package - will it be a Chess Academy native version or is it a winboard
version which might be used also under different winboard compatible GUIs ?
Because that will influent my decision whether I will buy or not the package
mainly. And I think I am not the only one - The King gets also some new friends
and fans after someone found the trick how it could be used in different GUIs as
a winboard engine - for now it might not be the big argument for many users, but
I think that will change, there are more and more supporters of the free engine
concept... (With free engine I mean free in the choice of GUI I use for it - any
copy protection - if needed - could be in the engine itself so there is no fear
about pirating... well not more then with any other product) Or if it is not
possible with the current engine - why not ship a winboard engine with the
package, afaik Michael Borgstaedt has winboard engines of all of his versions...
would be a nice extra feature.)

Greets, Thomas
