Kurt has been doing a terrific job with chessmaster that must have taken a huge amount of effort. He has never been paid for this, and has done it simply for his love of the computer chess, and admiration of the CM program. I can fully sympathise with him at being disappointed at the comments of Johan, and can't help feeling that the effect of losing such a strong and ardent voice for the program has been seriously underestimated - similar to the effect of losing JM, the repucussions of which are just being felt now I suspect. I had always been a Fritz fan, purchasing 4, 5, 5.32 and 6 before swapping over to CM8000 and now CM9000. I have to say a strong contributing factor to my going over to CM was the astonishing strength of the program using altered settings. Kurt, I personally hope you reconsider. I know you have said this is your final decision, but I have derived a great deal of pleasure from your efforts and would be greatly disappointed if they were terminated. I am concerned as I am unsure UbiSoft quite understands how much influence the posts on this site have in the sales of their program. >Dear Kurt, > >People like you work thanklessly for the rest of us.
