Well, I'm objecting to the sentiment behind the statement more then the
statement. The assumption that somehow this little issue will affect sales of
chessmaster significantly and that this has concerned Ubisoft enough to do some
smoothing over ...

How many people even care about this silly issue about a remark that may or may
not have made on a personality that is not known beyond a small circle of people
who read CCC and other chess computer freaks?

As I said, any effect this little issue will have will not even be a blip on the
sales of chessmaster now on in CM10000.
