Of course there could be such a challenge if ChessBase gives the money. Who else other than ChessBase should be interested? Because only in that style you need databases! So to me this always was the same what the show-events always were - marketing and advertisement. BTW let me show you another interesting strategy of ChessBase. ChessBase did always progress with its programs so that the users were forced [!] to buy new hardware because with older material you couldn't do this or that. The last coup was the 3D board. Honestly I feel deceived by ChessBase. Because I only read 3D, realistic and so on. But NEVER did they inform correctly that you should have this or that graphics. Nowhere! I remember other cases. Also with a chessprogram. At a certain time it was forced to have a Pentium. Conclusion? Ok, I have no proof, but it seems clear that already then ChessBase got support by the Hardware industry. You must consider that ChessBase is monopolist. They define the state of the art. Rolf Tueschen
