They know where to get computer chess games. Old Versions of Chess Master are sold in supermarkets in my country as sales. So. I dont agree, of course. If you ask in my country to the average user: what computer chess game do you know? They will answer ChessMaster. that leaves those who do and out of >those only a very small percentage are into computer chess in such a way that >they would actually buy any chess related software and out of those most will >buy chessmaster and chessbase products, now out of those even familiar with the >program Diep as a chess program from the people left, only a few would be >interested in buying a DOS program since most run WinXP, linux or something How do you know that Diep is only a dos program? :) >different, that leaves hardcore chess program fanatics with enough knowledge of >computer chess programs to even know of Diep, they would have to run Win98 or ME >and not know Vincent well enough to actually want to buy his product and it is >my conclusion that this potential costumer base mainly consists of readers of >this and a few other forums, which he has already said he refuses to sell to If you think that only 500 users in this Forum are the market, we cannot continue debating in good way. ChessMaster is the most known program in all Americas (from North America to South America) and there are hundreds of average users who know this program. Thus, your argument is not valid. >because we are nerds. Now i base this on the above and the fact that i have come Well, I have never said that all the people in this Forum is "nerd" or something similar. I only react to some specific attacks that reveal a mental problem of some people. Some people of this Forum = 4 to 6 persons. >to learn over time that VD is not the nicest person (that is my view). >Now what could you offer of info to prove me wrong? Well, I have been receiving Diep Versions for years. I began as a legal user of Diep. I paid for a license 3 years ago and he always has sent me new updates without having to pay any aditional thing. Vincent proposed me to be the "Booker" of Diep about one year ago and I am responsible of the Diep´s Book froom that time. If your question was done is good way, you have read my answer above. If your answer is only another typical egostistic behavior of the people in this Forum, you have the answer there too but I dont care what you can post later. If some people begin to write garbage, dont expect that I will answer with the politeness of a lady. The way how you follow, it will be the way how I will reply. Regards, Arturo.
