How many chess programs do you really need? And why select yours? If you say new amazing engines (plural), I give up :o)). >So what are you doing on this forum? Arguing with you and your minions at the moment :o). >If you are not interested to what new hot programs have to offer, and if you >really think that Winboard+GnuChess or Winboard+Crafty is a good choice for you, >I guess that the content of this forum must be of very little interest to you? Have you been reading the charter recently? Where does it say that only commercial programs are of use to the average person interested in computer chess? Commercial programs aren't everything. Are you forgetting your roots, Christophe? Amazing what a little money can do. I think it's fair to emphasise that there's no harm in ignoring the new hot overpriced program, whether it be Shredder 5 or Rebel Tiger. Actually, I find it a little distasteful that you send out your beta minions to recommend your program to an user, which obviously doesn't need it. >What OS are you using? Windows 3.1? By your standards I guess that Windows 95, >98 or ME offer very little over Windows 3.1? Never tried Windows 3.1, so I really can't say. >How do you know the ChessBase GUI is the most flexible? Personal experience. >Have you tried the new Rebel-Tiger II GUI? No, I'm not a beta tester. >What are your points of comparison? The answers to the questions I've asked. But if the answers I've received so far is inaccurate, please mention the qualities inherent to the CP GUI. >I think many people think that they would really LOVE to be able to use the >Fritz engine inside the Rebel-Tiger GUI. > >As soon as ChessBase offers the Fritz engine as a Winboard engine, we will >provide the Chess Tiger engine as a Winboard engine. Fair enough, but why always assume second place automatically. >This question has been answered by several people (at least 3 people: Harald, >Uri and Peter). Not really, considering the actual subject of this thread. >I urge you to explain what a user of the Rebel-Tiger II product is missing that >would justify spending the extra money to get the CB product? Okay, send me a copy and I'll tell you ;o). Mogens.
