Come on, that's not a lie. It's the usual business in software development. You
have very tough delivery dates and you have to fight hard to stick to these.
Nevertheless, you don't succeed always.

I think that you are a bit too harsh considering such delay being a lie.

One word to the "evil empire" nonsense (not directed to you personally). I know
a few chess base employees personally from a collaboration with them, in
particular Mathias Feist and also a bit Matthias Wuellenweber. And I can say
that it's really fun working with them. I have experienced them as are very
polite and helpful gentlemen. They are just nice persons.

AFAIK, CB is operating rather successful; that's not evil, isn't it ?
