Go up one level in this thread


If only Chessbase would answer the many questions about their problems here it
would be greatly appreciated.  Instead they ignore you at their site and they
ignore you here.  They refuse to fix their defective software.  They continue to
live off the reputations of the engine programmers while at the same time
turning out very questionable GUIs to support the engines.  Most of the CM
threads are NOT off topic.  Hiarcs/Fritz/Junior also caused a lot of discussions
when they first came out.  The main difference is there was nobody  from
Chessbase here to answer the questions.  With John here many people try to take
advantage of him by asking him directly about their problems.  The main abuse as
I see it is by the people on this forum (including me) hounding John about some
trivial problem.  This because it's so easy and he usually responds very
quickly.  New Rebel engines cause the same response from people with problems
and Ed usually answers a lot of questions here.  So does Christophe about Tiger.
 ChessMaster is the number 1 selling chess program in the world.  It is certain
to produce more excitement/discussions than any other program.

I'm off to a 9-ball tournament.  Back in a couple of days.
