chessbits newsticker: Dec. 12th, 2.000 - New lawyer claims by Millennium Just now we received two new lawyer claims by Millennium 2000. Issue this time is our note in the newsticker dated from 11-30-2000. The gents question these as slanderous and insultating. It ain't that clear to us where one could insist an insult. Even more ridiculous is to maintain any kind of slander. We abstain at this time to repeat the statements, given a few weeks ago, by the gents Schroeder, Noomen and Theron, who, at that time made in quite undoubtful, that they expressed it towards Mr. Meyer-Kahlen without any possible irritation, that Mr. Kaestner had had no influence at all concerning the opening book. We'd only like to quote Mr. Jeroen Noomens message up on CCC : "What is said in the Weiner/Stefan Meyer-Kahlen vs. Kästner case to the judges is an UTTER LIE. I find it disgusting to read that they use my phrases to turn this case into the wrong direction. Yes, Marcus called me. Yes, there was a decision to use a secret weapon. But I MADE THAT DECISION. Nobody else. I was responsible for the books in London, and the choice of opening in this game. Dear judges, you have been cheated." "Nobody to wonder, the opposite side this time only states "just" a supposed worthyness for this new event for $11,000. A caliber of a different kind surelly is the 2nd claim of these lawyers. Herein they state annother $22.000(!) and one really has the impression in advance, this must be something really terrible or relevant. We quote : "..also your client offered a rating list on the Internet within his newsticker, which shows a computer chess program, ranked on No 2, named Shredder X.There is no program like the named one actually existing. We have to urge you by wish of our client to provide furthermore presentations of rating lists, wherein a computerchess program of the named one is listed...." Now, ain't that an insult! $22.000 seem more than needed to claim for such an evil minded error. After we've been forced to prevent the name Shredder 5 beta and now don't seem to be "allowed" to use even a thing called Shredder X, all this is highly missleading for the customer. We've now decided to rename the program, as it is called correct, just plain and simple : Shredder. Obviously this seems to be less missleading, undoubtful and whatsoever more. Certainly these two sensefull, new claims create new lawyer costs, this time only $1,000. Ain't that truelly balanced ? We deeply congratulate Millennium 2000 to this newly invented "business strategy" and continue with the count : Legal case No 2 and 3..... for more informations visit regularely the following site: http://mitglied.tripod.de/ChessBits/index.html
