Well it indeed is news , that's true .

If it is good one ? Who knows .

The release date is interesting , isn't it ? It's the two weeks again :-) .

I think probably there has been a study by McKinsey or so telling people that
two weeks is the perfect period of time to keep people interested .

The equivalent for "soon" seems to be "Nobody knows " . I remember similar news
with time period "soon" for Hiarcs 8 and MChess 9 .

"Two weeks" seems to mean that it definitely will happen at last .

I really hope that Chess Tiger will follow the Hiarcs tradition and wlll
continue being developped under ChessPartner ( just for sake of competition) but
Chessbase really seems to follow the Microsoft tradition . The next thing is
probably a Shredder/Chessbase , brrr .
