Hi Enrico,

Shredder 5 + GUI was quite bug free ! Also the Millenium Chess System has not
any serious bug (I think there was really no service pack at all and for
Shredder 5 it was just one service pack that has some new features, but nearly
no bug fix)

Same to the Rebel 11 - package, service packs were always a feature-package, but
not so many bug fixes...

But on the other hand, there is ChessMaster - each version has had some serious
bugs and needs some Service Packs to work fine...

The question is: Why is this so ? I believe that for ChessMaster is always a
VERY strict deadline so the beta-test does not get the time it needs...

And I think ChessBase has now the same problem because of their partnership with
Eidos, there is a deadline when it MUST be finished, they do not get to much
time after it... so its not easy for them...

By the way: I own ChessMaster 8000 & Fritz 7 - and I am satisfied with both

Greets, Thomas
