The fact that they are going to court is not something positive about them. I believe that going to court should be done only in extreme cases. Even if chessbits said something wrong they can ask them to correct it in the next chessbit newspaper and only if chessbits refuse to do it and the something is clearly negative to go to court. I do not see something clearly negative that chessbits said about Shredder5. Shredder5 was number 1 in their rating list(the name Shredder5 is wrong but I do not see it as something clearly negative about Shredder5). ShredderX was one of the best in their rating list. The name ShredderX suggests that it is not Shredder5 and that Shredder5 may be even better and I do not see something negative. The opening preperation to help Tiger and Rebel also was not so negative against Shredder(Shredder did 1.5 out of 2 with black in the games against Rebel and Tiger and I believe that stefan does not think that 1.5 out of 2 with black against these programs is negative). I do not see a reason for millenium to complain about it. If they do not trust marcus they can stop doing him a beta tester and it is enough because inside knoweldge is not going to help him in the next competitions when the programs are clearly different and Shredder5 is available.
