I agree, Most of the commercial programs WE know like Fritz GUI's, Rebel,
Shredder etc had all these features and more BUT take your average Joe
chessplayer and he doesn't know that anything else exists beyond CM AND CM
spends a loot of money advertising and putting into PUBLIC stores, thats why it
is a bestseller! U take away all the hype what do u have, A strong chess
engine,no learning and HORRIBLE book and the piece sets you would use during an
LSD trip and u have a basic chess program PROCLAIMING it is the strongest chess
program in the world. .. please spare me :._|
