You're just making up numbers, the number is distorted because you never hear complaints from those who succeed. >First of all they have *no clue* that they must modify it. It is possible they have no clue, but then they won't have much use for a chess engine either. It goes hand in hand at some level. >>Arena can scan your harddrive for available engines, so all you have to do is >>download them and unzip them. > >You still must find that button to do it and know it has that capability or it >won't succeed. Of course, and if they can't they have much bigger problems anyway, like how to find the "power on" switch :) Seriously. You are expecting programmers to design software for users *) who are scared of techno, *) who can't install from a CD, *) who doesn't know what a file is, *) who can't browse a menu and *) who can't push buttons. Good luck writing software to these people, I give up on those. Luckly, I think we are dealing with a minory among the computer chess interested folks! -S.
