Hehe. Excuse me. I didn't want to warn against a conspiracy or otherwise to make one on my own. What you called conspiracy is already the reality. 1) ChessBase defines the standards of chess presentations and they are so strong, so that they can allow themselves to propose the "free" products like ARENA for those students who are short with money. If that is not the hype? Reason? People with real jobs must always calculate the time they lose while hunting for free tools and while searching for support. In the furure you don't pay for the product as such but for the support you get. Of course freaks without a real job have plenty of time to play with free products all day long. 2) ChessBase is the only trademark I know of that is present in the spin doctor business everywhere when it goes about chess or computerchess. Lokasoft might be a good company but I simply never saw them sponsoring main events. Excuse me if I missed a single mention here or elsewhere. Holland is not very big. Ed Schröder is gone... > >-elc.
