If I go further when analyzes from theoreticans are used by GM's and they should give a fee included the people who recieve the games and use them in their games And the company's of the chessprograms who use these moves in their openings books And other products. I would be filty rich by now. If you would copyright the moves now you would steel a lot of work from the original players and theoreticans. Marc van Hal
