Hi Mr J Smith, >>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... > The link you provide is for a third party offering their interpretation of > what is offered.

First think: Most of us have SEEN the advertisement of chessbase at their site and that they definitely advertise Junior 8 with two engines. They made clearly an error. At least in TWO magazines in germany Chessbase ITSELF announces Junior 8 with TWO included engines -> those two big advertisings should be already sufficent. But the next fact is that nearly all third party companies in the web that offer Junior 8 have nearly the same text in the announcement, advertising Junior 8 with two engines. That would be impossible randomness I they are all the same idiots... with that argumentation, I am totally sure any jury would say guilty, no chance for chessbase... Greets, Thomas
