The statement that ChessBase is a good company and the rest of your post are
contradictions. I find the idea that their products, which are already on sale,
are not ready until they are given to the SSDF for testing bizarre, to say the
least. I have seen the following question asked, a few times, but have never
seen a satisfactory answer. How do you get an update, which fixes serious bugs,
for ChessBase products if you don't have an internet connection?
