The 'King' engine alone would be a reason to buy it, and maybe even I will buy it just for the chess engine. I guess I'm just too much accustomed to work in the Windows environment that I see problems with the DOS limitations that aren't as relevant for others (who maybe don't know what they're missing from Windows ;-)). Chess content might be another issue: There are many commercial add-ons like opening surveys, magazine subscriptions, endgame studies etc. for ChessBase and not quite as many for Chess Assistant. I don't know if there are any comparable Tascbase products at all. Moritz
