Ups, you are right, 2 month old! Rather long time... the next one will come with h10. Anything wrong? >- No strong engines - but fruit, rybka, zappa ... Did you miss Fritz9? Its one level with the best. Or Hiarcs10? Rypka (great engine, indeed!) will cost 34€. But without GUI. Fritz 49€. With improved GUI and Serveraccess! I would not be worried that this can´t compete. Market will tell. >- CSS Online only 6 issues of 8 promised and sold? New Issue of "Kicker" delayed - German Football in trouble? Would be a nice headline for you, too :-) >- old fashioned look for CB9 and F9 I don´t think so but if so may be because of the oldfashioned look of a chessboard too over hundreds of years. What do you want: jumping and firing pieces in pink and yellow? :-) Btw did you ever see the new 3D engines? And which programm do you think has the most fashioned look? Just to have a reference... Btw Windows XP has the same look for 5 ans more years. >Crises or only a little break? What do you think? To be honest: I think this is great nonsene! Much trouble about nothing. Chessmaster and Fritz are afaik the most sold programm in the world. Not fruit, rypa or .... no ... ;-) Chr.
