It would probably be possible to compensate the people that ordered J8 before
the add was corrected. Depends on the number of people off course. After all,
they presumedly planned to make some money on the Deep version as well. From the
view of chicken logic it seems surprising that anyone could possibly think that
Chessbase would be willing to supply a Deep and not-so-Deep version of the
engine at half the price. Mainly because it would obviously undermine the sale
of the purely Deep version. No matter how improved it might be. My grasp of
legal matters isn't nearly sufficient to evaluate culpability on behalf of
Chessbase. But there seems to be a good deal of customer stupidity involved as
well. If it looks like a bargain, check it again.
