Don't tell me that watching ChessBase engines slugging it out on the server or at home isn't a heavenly experience :-). A bottle of handlotion and everything would be perfect. >Maybe Shredder is playing against Kramnik and I win my interest on Chess-Base >products. Hmm.. either it's interesting to own the chess software or it isn't. One obscure match (that won't take place) shouldn't mean that much. >And maybe a better WinBoard adapter, better elo calculations (bug is a long time >in the software), tournaments options without problems (see my problems with >Swiss tournaments). All what is for me important works really bad. Some time ago Thomas Mayer tried to argue the case of the malignant WinBoard adapter at CSS. Seemingly with some succes at the time. But nothing has happened and I think it's fair to say that nothing will. They're too busy getting people addicted to the Chessbase server. This will make the opportunity to use 100+ free engines with full strength seem less enticing. The other bugs won't be resolved quickly either, because there's no real competition. Regards, Mogens
