Basically if Uri would have been less of an idiot, he could have figured it out already. I posted some numbers half a year ago or so and that will be forever best indication he ever will get of course. Now he asks the same question and i'm sure that from all persons i would be the only one to *ever* post anything realistic here, though some here who won't answer to this thread can guess and will get to the same numbers. Chris Carson is the last of course to believe here. Complete idiot. If you lower price you do not sell more. usually you sell less as "that program gotta suck then". Perhaps Uri should first try to win the ICGA world champs (and not at 500 moves a minute as i would love to see movei play rebel there as rebel only starts counting time after ply 2 or so, so it will always think longer than movei there) and if he is there in that small world. Then he'll be able to chat enough during the rounds and he'll know more than he ever will find out here at the CCC. Best regards, Vincent
