I assume this is the company which has to bring Chessmaster in the (non-chess specialist) software and computer shops and department stores in Europe. Additionally, I think it would be a good idea if the us company would offer to provide the european chess warehouses directly, to speed things up. Most of them can be found on the internet (I think some will have tried to order already). Otherwise, I'm afraid the interest in CM8000 will be on the decline if it arrives too late. For example, I wouldn't like to buy a top chess program which is over 6 month old already, and on the same day I buy it the follow-up may be announced. I think chess software is a very fast business these days, not only the speed of the calculations. Regards, M.Scheidl P.S. I remember times before we joined the EWR, when the time to wait for such products to arrive here (if at all) made me feel as if being in Vladiwostok, and not in the "heart of Europe". Those days have used up most of my patience.
