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'm not sure what you mean "provide a license to use ICC" - any client can access ICC as they use a published protocol. Thus, I don't really care hos sucky Blitzin is, I can use any client I want. What CA should do is provide access to any server that uses the ICS protocol, ICC, FICS, etc. Chess Partner does this. Sure they have a right to make their own server, but they are smoking something if they think they going to entice enough people to use it by providing access to *only* that server. Chessbase only gets away with it because they are a near-monopoly.
