i own this product. at times i find it too demanding for me but that's okay. in general schloessner's idea is very good, and anything too easy ain't worth the money. the designer of this training base is a swiss GM. i read the the chesscafe review of reference. as far as their reviews go, this is more accurate than usual with the particular respect that the reviewer mulls over the usefulness of the product to the user. my experience with some chesscafe reviewers is their excessive attention to the details of installing the product-- and the instructions pursuant to that end-- without regard to the value and practical use of the product. i don't think their reviewers spend enough time with the software that they write about before posting a review. and i am not sure potential buyers of software add-ons are as overly unsure of how to add a database to cb8 or a training base to fritz as is their designated reviewers, who can always fill up an easy paragraph or two yapping about how difficult the product was for them to install -albeit these individuals can program their digital clocks and are usually chess masters-- you might think they were asked to re-stage the punic wars without elephants or some such.
