Hi John,

how many chess programs in the world have such a bad copy protection (please
thinking)?

The user is TheKing and not a programmer.
So a better name for TheKing is = LongLiveABadProtection 3.12x

But all this is not many important, I mean if we have 172 WB engines and only
one of this programs have a copy protection.

John, I am thinking that Chessmaster is a really strong and very good GUI (no
doubt about it) and I can say ... buy the program and you have fun ... but for
Winboarder's and other engine lovers is the copy protection more as bad.

What do you think how many minutes need all users to put TheKing in other GUIs.
Maybe 3 or more years ...

I hope you understand now what I will say.

Best
Frank
