Subject: Purchasing Tiger: a question for Christophe

Hi Christophe,

There's a question I've been thinking about for a long time.  Let's see if I can
ask it without it coming out wrong:

I bought Rebel Tiger 13 (& upgraded to 14) and think it plays great.  I bought
Chess Assistant, which comes with Tiger 13, but got no discount for essentially
buying Tiger 13 again.  Now I've standardized on the ChessBase interface and I
wish to run Tiger inside that, but there is apparently no discount or upgrade
path from the versions I already have, even though the engine is reportedly
identical.  I must purchase Tiger yet a 3rd time for the same PC.

On a separate, but semi-related note, I would also like to register Tiger for
Palm.  And when it arrives, I'll want Tiger for PocketPC.

Having lost my job in July, it's hard for me to justify (to myself or my
significant other) paying for Tiger again and again, especially 3
only-slightly-different PC copies.  Is there any thought of providing package
discounts if a person buys several types of Tiger (e.g., ChessBase, Palm, and
PocketPC) all at once?  And/or perhaps a discount on certain types of Tiger
(multiple PC flavors and/or different platforms) if the buyer already owns other
type(s)?

Thanks!!
