I just read Blincoe's post a couple above saying one should not be allowed to
buy the next version until they have beaten the current version.  For the record
Steve, I can buy CM 10000.  I have a grand total of 1 (one) win against the
Chessmaster personality at tournament time control.  (I'm not going to give the
number of losses, not sure I can count that high.)  When I won it offered to
print me a certificate.  Like an idiot I said no, as though I could repeat that
feat at will.

Gotta go get back to work.  I'm not yet eligible to buy Fritz 9.
