That is true..................the 3d sets are kewl when laid out in a 2d
perspective ( I really like the newspaper set). I'm very glad too see the engine
is probably re-worked.  Indeed the extra art will be great...I get REALLY board
playing on the same old sets and my child plays more chess with more boaards and
features available (she loves the dogs set because she loves animals.)  Chess
base does indeed fail when they keep giving the buyer THE SAME OLD GUI over and
over again (ok ok so they have learned to give one extra set--big deal.)  I hope
the opening book editor is vastly improved as that has been one of thier weak
points for us hardcore players.  What would really be kewl is if in tournament
mode it would SAVE THE GAMES that it plays to a file.  And tell me WHO would'nt
love this feature -- THAT you could EASILY enter the selected games from a
played tournament (especially from your own designed opening book-get where this
is leading to?) into your personal opening book with the touch of a button at
the users defined number of moves!!!!!!!!!!  FEED us please!   Chessbase
certainly would'nt do THAT!  To much fear that a book would be created that
would target thier programs!  But hey!  I would spend bux for that!!  Perhaps CM
could market thier equivalent to chessbase for a cheaper price with the
described feature and I would buy it!!  Who wouldnt?  Alex.
