nonsense

completely nonsense. watch out for the really tiger. when it appears as
rebel engine it´s more than competitive to ALL chessbase engines.
or did you play the latest tiger engines? i think not otherwise you wouldn´t
tell us this nonsense.

one more nonsense. it seems that you´ve never seen the mcs-system. otherwise you
would know, that there are several genius engines included - as in chessbase
several fritz engines.

what you´re writing here? they does cost the same. and nimzo is cheaper, because
here you get the full-original-version too. for nothing.

here you´re right, but...
