Chessbase quickly have to set this up because the customers have the right to claim for what they paid for, and chessbase has to prove his status of trusted company on this problem. Secondly the time bug is ok for junior 8 , it is not the end of the world as it can be solved by a patch , but what is scandalous is that for the "deep" version designed for professionals , which costs 100 euros ; all the details were not set perfectly as Deep fritz 7 or Shredder 7.
