Dear Jay.

Icc can provide licence or withdraw it for CA to include an interface for its
server. It can also if they like block all other clients around (because they
have that functionality)

ICC for the past 2 years is constantly asked by a lot of people for new
interface.
I suppose you are a paying ICC client. Dont you find annoying that they did not
provide a decent interface instead of the outdated Blitzin . For the past year
they keep saying.. its comming out soon.

Convekta decided to make its own server. I dont think you will disagree they
have that right. But ICC thought that its not in there interest to to provide an
licence for CA. The reason for me is obvious. If both clients exist.. you will
definately compare them... and chessplanet is by miles way from poor blitz in.

I am sure that CA7.1 bugs will be fixed..
Just check for new builds around.

If you use CA only for handling an computer account then i can understand what
you are talking about. BUT if you use CA for studing chess it by far the best
chess program.

As for Chuck.. Please dont bother comparting CA and CB.
Just try BGA in CA (they have a video tutorial for BGA) if it is publicly
availiable just watch it. You will NEVER use CB again. Trust me.
If you just want to store your games and not study chess then go for the free
scid. It has more than enough for simple stuff.
If you know an expert user of CA just ask him to show it. But ask an expert.
Most users dont use more than 10% of functions.

Hope I helped.

P.S I am just a CA client since v3. in case someone misunderstands what i am
saying.
