Hi Rolf, Me too, I find it very good to create programs with open source code. However this is not finally a measure for performance neither does this entitle to be the moral winner. In championship counts success only. Your statement regarding other programs/programmers fails to convince me. For example Shredder was surely not updated and highly probable would not have been updated with or without Stefan Meyer-Kahlen's participation in Mainz. What you mean with "deception" regarding the other programs such as Junior a.s.o. is absolutely unclear. If it was the goal to point out the good things on Bob and his product, then there is no need to do this to the debit of third parties. Kind regards Martin
