I don't care about any of this, but this is factually incorrect.  People
complained a lot about this, the complaint was that the Windows version
sold to the public would be weaker than this special DOS version due to
Windows overhead, so the Swedish list would be a little wrong.

Thorsten, the autoplayer doesn't cheat.  The big deal here is not that
Chessbase put something weird in there, but rather that they can buy any
of the competitors and autotest against them in the lab, but the
competitors can't do the same thing.

Which is not to say that they'll do it.

What an insane field this is.
