I heard them say, it took CB several versions from 1.1 to 7 - to become a really great product......why not CM ? Name me better and more compentent tutors than the ones of Christiansen, Seirawan - 4 GM's, 3 IM's and a FIDE master, to say it once. And I've been told - as I'm a little steady in this scene, that Larry Kaufmann is still an expert on book composing - talkin' bout the engine - no doubts, eh ? And the 2 d boards ( the very 1st time....) and the database functions have improved ALOT, so, why not spot this - positive, once in a while, rahter than "are the lack of certain critical features and >the many bugs in the tutorials." I feel this as kinda single sighted and missleading. c/u ELVIS
