Maybe this explains it:  I took his comment, "Ein schönes Geschenk für
Schachcomputer-Sammler", and I ran it through the Google Language Translator,
and it comes out as, "A beautiful gift for chess computer collecting tanks".

So, you see, it's not really for people, it's for tanks.  Now if a tank wants to
pay that much for a chess computer ad, I'm not going to argue with it.

Surreal Regards,
