What I am saying is that given this fact CK can easily be the greatest chess site on the net, but their business plan is rather dubious. So much potential, wasted. I think this is a valid opinion, but you are of course free to cry to the moderators if you feel I am simply bashing your hero. I am not anonymous either, the email address I give here is correct. I would say the same thing to Kasparov's face, or to his business managers, that they are wasting their potential.
