You are bidding on the program Fritz 8, considered the strongest chess program
for playing against and teaching. This is the ORIGINAL software autographed by
World Champion Vladimir Kramnik, former FIDE World Champion Viswanathan Anand,
World Championship Challenger Peter Leko, Teimor Radjabov, and Paco Vallejo!!!
This is a one of a kind item! All top players use Fritz 8 to analyze their
games! Again, this is an ORIGINAL, ONE OF A KIND! Both discs (the original
packaging and manual) are included and in excellent, like-new condition.

When was the last time all those players were at the same tournament, and the
possibility that this person got _all_ these players to sign his copy.

I also do not remember any tourament where Vallejo played at the same tournament
with all these players.

Personally I think it is a scam, and I have even informed ebay about it. I think
they should make him _prove_ all those players signed it.
