I just found the correct prices on the Gambitsoft/News site, it seems that
Millenium chess system will be more expensive than ChessBase engines:

The engines ...
... for the GENIUS 6 GUI (see message yesterday) are not for free, they will be
DM 98/US $ 59 each, at least such top names as Dave Kittinger's W-CHESS! -
11/4/98

Chess Genius 6 and Shredder 3 prices!
The prices for Chess Genius 6 (to be released in December) are set (and you can
be sure they are not changed any time soon): DM 198 (US $ 120) new, DM 98 (US $
59) upgrade from Gold, DM 119 (US $ 72) from older versions. For the upgrade
from Rebel Gold just send the coloured paper slip which is in the Rebel Gold
cover, nothing else, keep the CD. A nice idea! From older versions we need the
disk or CD, though.
SHREDDER 3 has same prices: DM 198/DM 98. For upgrades we need old CD 1! Further
details will follow soon! - 11/4/98



I think that Bert confused "Genius Gold" and "Rebel Gold" in the text above, but
the rest of his message seems clear ...
