Yes I'm surprised the moderators didn't delete it - "Marcus" sounds a bit like the infamous Rolf, but then again it could be a cultural thing, you know a way of arguing a point that is not really meant to be insulting? I admit though that calling you incompetent was a "low blow". Anyway, to put my "2 cents" worth, I don't believe Chessbase is taking over, no more than a luxury car like a Lexus is taking over a Ford. As someone who is REALLY incompetent regarding computer chess :), I don't see a big difference in most of the "professional" programs and apparently the freeware programs are catching up. Anyway until someone comes up with an engine that can find new positional ideas, I believe most professional chessplayes will stick to Chessbase for the seamless integration of database and engines, and I think most of them use the engine to help them not overlook tactics while they analyze a position.
