Hi Mr. J, > If you notice, the text of the add mentions 2 engines that are included with > Deep Junior 8. In fact, Deep Junior 8 is specifically mentioned several > times. The only indication that it is Junior 8 is in the image of the > cover. It seems that there was a mix up with the photographer or director > of artwork and the incorrect cover was sent to advertisers. The text of the > actual ad itself states quite clearly that Deep Junior 8 comes with 2 > engines, not junior8. but when you take a loot at that link: http://www.bcmchess.co.uk/junior8.html it is absolutely clear that they talk about Junior 8 when they mention two engines... -> and do you think they take that text out of their mind ? I am absolutely sure that this is not the case, for sure they got the productinfo directly from chessbase... and in a german forum is already described by a member of the CSS, a german computer chess magazin, that ChessBase knows that they made a mistake and try to get the old paperbacks back to use the correct ones -> so to me it is very curious that one of the chessbase team writes to Terry that he does not know anything about such an advertisement - it is sure that there was great activity in the company to prevent that any package with the wrong cover would be sold - so to me it's unbelieveable that there is anybody in that company who do not know about that... That's why I said the text in that eMail to Terry sounds to me like: "Hey, I know you are right... but bad for you: I see no way how you can prove it..." - okay, he has not written that, but pointing out not knowing anything about such an advertisement looks suspicious...
