But maybe that wasn't Chess Assistant but Chess Academy (I sometimes confuse >them, because "CA" fits to both :o). Hi Michael, I have got from Millennium and Chess-Assistant the software. UCI engines works fine and on the Chess-Assistant webpage you can find updates. I having tried the light version. Yes, all the time I work also with Chess-Base 7.0 (x years the program where I made the most work). Now I work with Chess-Assistant, not easy to learn this program. An other grafik, options, menue system compare to Chess-Base 7.0. Clear is, that Chess-Assistant have more options a better database format, better analyse possiblitys and more engine support. No UCI support for the light version? Unfortunately this is not good, but it is only a light version. The full version works fine for me. I am happy with this software and this is for me alone enough on commercial chess software. All what I need can I found in Chess-Assistant 6.1. Best Frank
