I try it better ... In German we say: Energy - compensation! A good power output on this site (CCC) must be balance with a good power output on the other site (the members). I know that in Germany we have a clearly "media problem". Means that the most are using all the internet events but don't have interest to pay for it. This isn't right ... Believe me, the chess server are the main point that the interest on computer chess isn't so high that in the latest years. Chess clubs have the same problems as interesting chess fora. Not the freeware is the point of view! An other point are the possiblitys people have today with the "New media" ideas. Internet for an example. Freeware today isn't Freeware for around two or more years. The idea of Freeware is in danger (in my opinion). The energy compensation is bad, not only my English :-) I have never the idea that commercial companys are in a danger situation with the freeware idea I have. A bad conscience from my site but I believe that this isn't the main point for the situation we have today in computer chess area. In the latest days I added AnMon and Dragon on Arena page for free. Arena in around two weeks. I am thinking a long time about it ... on the work our team have, on the work the programmers have and on the users which download the programs and search with an other explorer windows a crack for a commercial program. We have enough honest buyers of chess software and a lot of interesting persons in the chess fora but the complete group of persons which try to make a little bit for this hobby have thinking about it. We need new ideas for the future! This is my opinion about it and it's time for users to thinking about it. CCC goes an interesting way to galvanize and I like it and hope that I can used this forum for a long time. My best regards Frank
