You should indeed design your product for the computer chess enthusiast and not for the typical user. You may be sure that the latter will not complain because he is simply unable to win a single game against Chessmaster. The typical user likes all the features of Chessmaster but will not concern about the strongest possible engine .... Take other examples like Fritz, ChessTiger and so on: all these programs satisfy both: the typical user and the chess computer enthusiast. Kurt
