As a minor note.. there is now a "lite" version of Cb7.. it is more like the
chssbase demo 1.1 .. basically you can do opening reports, player dossiers etc..
everything.. there is still the 8K game limit, and you cannot save games.. but
if you have the cb6 lite and cb7 "reader" then you can have something that is
really almost like cb6/7 just without the 8K game limit (also it supports all
the different engines (Fritz, crafty (32-bit ones also I mean)).
