Subject: ChessBase & F7 Server

Last few days I have got the message download server upgrade. I checked and my
version (beta version) has no upgrade available. So this is just another way of
telling me that I must buy the new fritz7 which I dont want to do, not right now
anyway.
So I guess my use of the server is no longer viable for me in lieu of todays
latest developments which is I am getting disconnected for a short period of
time then shortly there after back on, over and over again.
The result of this Chess Tiger 14's rating has dropped to day from the mid
1400's to the mid 1300's in the last 15 minutes that this monkey business has
take place.

None of this is very important to me. I mean, I take no pride either way as to
program wins/losses. My interest is watching the programs play and to see which
is the stronger engine. That result is being distorted, now at least.What would
be a better way would be for Chessbase to flat out and say to me " thank you for
evaluating our Fritz7 server. To use the server after such & such a date we
require you to purchase fritz7.......Dont give me this I need to upgrade and
then tell me my version cannot be upgraded..

No, not sour grapes, not picking on chessbase, I appreciate the usage of there
beta server. They need help in the public relations department though!
