Go up one level in this thread
there is one "little" flaw in your "argument". Chessbase is the main sponsor of Brutus development since Oktober 2000. Apart from that Chessbase is pretty obviously not trying to explain a defeat, they are just giving some information about Brutus. But do not quail, my friend. You are in good company here on CCC. Very few seem to check the facts before making accusations, insults, or statements here.
