I think to myself you are spreading rumours given by some old chess player giving his opinion which I think is way off, and I believe you know this too. I think he is wrong. Mindscape said their engine is stronger, not just the book making it stronger. I was going to say that you being a rival programmer, saying that CM5500 is stronger than the new CM6000, which is also competing against your program. might make people think to forget about getting CM6000, when it is weaker than it previous version and maybe buy your program instead. I think especially if someone has something to gain from making comments on how strong a program is, especially if it has a negative angle, they should back it up with facts. and not just write someones else's opinions. Maybe I am off the mark Amir, but that is how I feel about it. But I will I will leave your responsibilities and comments up to you. I mean no offence on what you write Amir, but I got the impression that you spreading rumours and not facts. I apolagise if this sounds like I am having ago at you. I do not want to, but just wanted to get my view across. I also suppose I gain alot from one line you write :) Thanks
