Hi:
Do you know if Dave is ever going to deliver a new Wchess version on his own
name and under his own company? I ask you this to you as much I know you have
some contact with him and I have non, not even his email. I cannot ask him
directly, but maybe you ... By the way, is incredible how, once a programmer
puts his engine inside a "mass market" program, it seem to disappear of common
interest of people like us. King engine is a hell of strong, but scarcely gets
half of the comments and words any "professional" programs gets, even if it is
weaker.  And why? Because is in the bowels of CM5000, a mass market product. The
same with Wchess,  encased in Power Chess 98. This is somewhat silly as much as
"mass market" are not precisely mass market darlings, neither professional
software does not try to be a mass market succes. Of course Cm sell a lot more
at the end, but is a shame how little concern his engine elicits from us. By the
way, that XWChess is going to be marketed in a way or another or it is the same
or almost in Power?
