Hmm , If it can MP and yet is not available then why mention that here ?
I thought we were discussing the commercial offering ..... not something that is
in the authors p.c

BTW , I do think that you shuld quote the results with "In our current tests ...
" or "In our opinion ..." or "According to yyy ..." before making statements
that "It is the strongst" (with or without today !)

  Opinions are not facts - and you will be hard hit to prove them in a court of
law if you advertise according to your own opinions !

Have you not seen any game out in the market ?
None say "The best strategy game ... " , etc always - "The best startegy game
according to gamespot ..." , etc , etc

So the others who posted here have a very very valid claim - which you seem to
be refusing to accept.

I dont have ruffian 2 CD here - and probably would never since you guys usually
dont market in this part of the world* , but you cannot escape with statements
like "my english is not that good" IF you have it on the CD in english
statements like this (if you put exact stuff in germen - then you wont escape
with that too ! - just giving you some room to escape in case this is a
"translation error" - the standard excuse used by many here ;) )

Mridul

* Have to exclude John Merlino from this ! both chessmaster and majestic chess
are available here in stores :)
