OTOH, the freedom in selecting a price may be limited.
After all, there is the very natural wish to make a little profit.
There is the distributor Niggemann who wants to get his share; there are costs
for advertising etc.

IMHO, you can't really compare this new, little project with ChessMaster, which
is being sold in huge numers all around the world. Of course, they can offer it
cheaper.

Neverthelesee, the price is still comparable to those of the ChessBase products
although they come in far larger numbers too.

Wishing good success to Frank, Perola and their "crew",

Uli
