Yes you are in all cases absolutly right.Here in germany we are living in a
crazy situation with a marketing magazine called CSS.

In early years it has some good guest authors which wrote some very interesting
stuff.For example Ken Thompson,Chrilly Donninger,Thomas Mally,John Nunn and so
on.

But in the last years it was only a magazine to sell the fritz-engines.

It is a big case of luck that there is another german computer-magazin called
chessbits.They try to write more objective about the programs, but they don“t
have the money to buy a lot of experts to write for them.

So it is very good to have the CCC for the computerchessscene.
