I can add that every free engine can be tested with the kure book by that logic
because customers only need to buy one product(Fritz8) and they can use
the free engine with kure book.

If the problem with chessmaster is the fact that customers need to buy more than
one program then this problem is solved for all the free programs
that can run under Fritz.
