Hi Thomas, Thanks for your posting. The pricing structure has been designed according to my understanding what must be exactly paid for this soft (different packages, ebooks+ etc). According to the numerous testing reports and customers feedback - the prices are always ok. This Goliath Blitz engine is not native Chess Academy engine. But the product will include native Chess Academy engine too :-) Michael Borgstädt will decide finally what exactly should be supported by Goliath Blitz, I mean - your question about the support of WinBoard GUI.
