Author's I guess.Fabien never approached,If he makes a deal with chessbase,he'd
get the offer.

Why did Ed retire from Lokasoft and made his engine a freeware?

Chessmaster from UBISOFT still remains the favourite.
It's good idea to deal with EA sports or Sierra Games,because EA has no chess
program still in their game list.Chess is also a strategy,Sierra would accept if
Fabien designs a new GUI.Author's don't have contact with those big gaming
companies.
