(Presumably to clear the way for Virtual Chess 3, due in January 2003, which is already listed for preorder at £23). Now that is a _real_ bargain as VC2 was an impressive, and unfairly overlooked, package. In fact, amazon is offering VC2 and Fritz Championship Chess for £12 the pair; now that I have a (Windows) laptop I may well buy them next time I'm ordering a few books ... Alastair
