Rebel is only top program outside Chessbase house, What about the King Engine in CM8K which greatly outsells all the Chessbase family? That is not on Chessbase. Chessbase has MOST top engines now. They will NOT "have soon all top engines". And what is the aim in screaming that they will? > but I am not >surprised if I read soon, that Ed is making engine to Hamburg company. Or Rebel >company is merged to Chessbase. Rubbish! Why do you insult Ed? >Is this progress good for computer chess? I am not sure... By Screaming "total MONOPOLY!" you are strongly implying that this is a bad thing. It is too late to try to placate your argument with "I am not sure..." > >Jouni There is no "total MONOPOLY!" here. Chessbase are currently doing well, and are signing up the rights to many good engines, as well as the emerging "Young Talents", because they have developed a very good and popular interface. People already build adaptors to play Shredder in CBase Gui. People who buy CM8k write here about how they try to play the King Engine in CBase Gui. Good on Chessbase, they provide valid competition to Rebel, Chessmaster, and whoever else is in the Marketplace. No offense meant Jouni, I'm just placing the other side of the argument.
