Nobody is being mislead. If they swore a solemn oath always to give it away for
free, then that would be misleading.
Of course, we have been getting free gold nuggets and now the faucet will turn
off. So naturally, we will cry a little bit.
But there will always be crafty, and other strong engines. And we still have
the versions that they did give away for nothing.
And you can buy a top-flite chess engine for about $30. So we can dry our tears
and break out our checkbooks.
By the way, have you tried ElChinito?
Better try your turn before it goes pro. Another dynamite dandy:
