After I bought Mchess7 I think the price was slashed. I don't know whether that
hurt the sales or not. I didn't get nor did I expect some kind of refund. It
would have been nice though. Prices get cut all the time and many of us are not
happy that we bought at the higher price. Maybe Rebel acted too quick. I'm sure
that Rebel had its reasons. The customer was always given great support. I hope
this doesn't mean the end of Rebel.
