There is a kind of petulance in this issue from the part of us, freaks, writers for freaks, etc. It seems that if a program comes well packed, full of features and with a very good price, then at once it does not deserve a word from the wizards. Power Chess has a wonderful engine by Kittinger and rarely something has been written about it. CM has a wonderful engine as you say, but the same happens. Do you want to be considered a professional programmer? Then you must deliver an horrible package at 100 bucks or more; then you will be considered seriously... Fernando
