In reality your post is absurd, the reason why I mentioned that "if your rating is less < 2300 you realy don't need to buy it" is simple and straight forward and could not be explained simpler than with the topic. I do understand that the motif for buying the latest P.C. Chess software is not just for strength alone, unless you are planning to entertain some IM in your house and impress them with your latest toy including your latest computer. The main reason behind buying a new P.C. Chess program should really depend on how many features that new program is offering beside strength, since CM 6000 probably could beat 75% of the club chess players in the world, there is no need to get an upgrade unless the program is offereing new and better features and in this case, CM800 is one of the new P.C. Chess programs that can offer more, and better Features as the previous versionfor a reasonable price. Pichard. >Why would someone under 2300 not want it?
