It is not so simple.

I think that chessbase should give them more than it by giving them compensation
for disappointment if they refuse to give them what they promised.

This is not about a multiprocessor version but about the version that played
against kasparov.

You should understand that probably 99% of the buyers who bought Junior8 and
not Deep Junior8 have not more than one processor to use(otherwise they would
buy Deep Junior8) so they get no advantage from having Deep Junior8 except
having the engine that played against kasparov.
