I don't know if it is true but it could be true that a particular URL, is
programmed into Junior 9 by the author.

I do not suspect Amir, but that does not mean it did not happen, that a
particular customer is banned from logging on Playchess after purchasing Junior
9.

Why this should be truth I do not know and I do not want to know or suspect it
but it may be truth.

It may not be the author's fault but it may be the fault of a virus that the
author knows nothing about.

One of these two must be the truth if there is a problem with a particular URI.

It could be something against a specific customer.
