Uli in English please! Two reasons, One, most of us don't speak German, most
people here speak English, and Two, when translated with Babel Fish....well read
below and you'll see why:o)

Now do not strike nevertheless all equal the Chrilly dead, only because it wrote
a few enamels, in order to provoke a discussion. Admitted, I consider the idea
also not completely lucky and the Mails for tactless. But ChessBase has to
nevertheless probably do with whole history nothing at all; it is not account
guilty to those over its private life. Does one have to make directly an
elephant from it?


It is hilarious however!:o))
