People have the right to try to sell chess programs that are weaker than some free chess programs and calling them greedy is not fair. I also know that you do not care about comp-comp games and usually play against the programs so I wonder what was changed that you care if ktulu is weaker than Toga or ProDeo or Ruffian in comp-comp games. I guess that from your point of view there is no reason to buy chess programs because free programs already are strong enough to beat you in most cases. Uri
