Regarding Junior 8?

Here is the letter I recieved today. They want me to _understand_ not to
_correct_ the situation!

Dear chess friend,

many thanks for your mail.

Unfortunately there is a mistake in the text of the Junior8 DVD box.

The Junior engine that played Kasparov in February was a version for
multiprocessor systems only. In fact there is simply no single processor version
of that multiprocessor engine. That's why the engine that played Kasparov is
included on the DeepJunior8 CD-ROM only but not on the standard Junior8 CD.

We bag your pardon for that mistake. Since there simply is no single processor
version of that engine we will not be able to provide you with a fix/upgrade.

Many thanks for your understanding.


Yours sincerely,
Steffen Giehring

Betreff: I've Sent This Letter To Support, I'm Sending You A Copy...


Hello Again Hans,

I have the proof that Junior 8 was advertised with Extra Junior Engines, at
least one extra engine from the match!

Two URL's are advertisments still up and one is a review on a commercial chess
software site.

If ChessBase would honor  it's original statements, explaining Junior 8 came
with two chess engines rather
than one, I'd greatly appreciate it.

I've been doing business with you for awhile and have 9 ChessBase Programmes, 5
of which I bought from ChessBase directly. I want to continue doing business
with you, and I also want you to honor your original advertisments.

Best Regards,
 Terry McCracken


Please honor your original advertisments as I was mislead by advertising on your
site before you modified it, in my purchasing decision of Junior 8.

Thanks!

Best Regards,
 Terry McCracken

Thank You CCC for the many replies below.

Has anyone convinced ChessBase to compensate their purchase of Junior 8?

I'm now a little ticked by their last reply.

Thanks for any information on how ChessBase dealt with you if you purchased
Junior 8.

My Regards,
 Terry McCracken
