It is really very easy. Lets just say that you buy the new Fritz 5.32 or any new program for that matter, and you spend three to fours times as much on that program, than if you bought CM6K Fine that it has good database and all the bells and whistles you want, that CM6K does not have. But deep down when you use it to play chess and analyse games, you will think from all that you read on CCC about CM6K being the strong and maybe the strongest, you will think to yourself, well this is great, I have all the best features I want in a program, but I do not have the best engine to go along with it.That is sitting in a cheap CM6K program. And those people are going to hate that. They want to spend money and will want to have the best. They want the best features and the best engine to go along with that. Not have some cheap program with less features being stronger than their program. Especially if in the past that program was considered a Joke among the other programs and people. I want a strong and the best engine. I really doubt that the serious player would use all database functions in everyone of the many programs they have. It all comes down to you cannot stand what has been a joke of a program in the past to be maybe better in playing strength than your current programs you have and spent way more money on. You can talk about all the Database and other functions that make a chess programs great. But lets face it, most people buy a certain chess program because they want to have the strongest engine, so they can analyse and play against themselves and other computers to win. We all want to win, that is the point of chess. And so you can have one better over someone else because you have a stronger program than what they do and hopefully see something their program cannot see in analysis because their engine is weaker.. Simply put, if you think you have the best and you do not, then you have to defend yourself in order to not look like a fool in front of anyone else. It a matter of pride in a program you tust to help you improve your chess. And you want the best for that. And if CM6K is the best, well that will not sit well with some people who think their program is the best, and thus will make out that CM6K is rubbish. As I said, people can rubbish CM6K all they want and try and make out because it is lacking with some features it does not deserve to be among the strong programs, And I think that is what some people on here have been doing.
