Most people can't hope to beat any of them and you really only need one for analysis. Apparently no tournament option either, which only leaves ICS and maybe the databse options. Sounds like even more Tiger clones at ICC. Why not include a WinBoard version as well? This would entice current users of other systems. Shouldn't be too difficult to accomplish either. >Winboard??? Have you ever looked at Winboard and at ChessPartner? Winboard is by >far inferior to any GUI I have seen. It supports the same advantages you just mentioned, except for the database handling. The engines available might not be just as strong, but strong enough for most. If the CP GUI supports tournaments then the four different engines and WinBoard support would be splendid. Otherwise it's just eng-eng, analysis and ICS. All supported by WinBoard and WinBoard compatible engines. >If your argument is price then CM8000 is also too expensive because it costs >money. Take Crafty and Winboard, that seems to be the best combination for you. Maybe for me, but we're not talking about me specifically. The consumer should know what he or she is getting compared to the competition and at what price. Mogens.
