Such is Microsoft and CB. Instead other companies making better software should be bought. >Sorry, this is crap. indeed. it is crap that even after release XYZ of their GUI they are not capable to produce a GUI that over all runs without problems. You are defending them so heavy. are you working for them ? >You either support a product and its author, or you don't. the product of the author has not much to do with the GUI-maker. or has mark investigated hours in the GUI ? >Support does not stop with developement. It's the sales that count. the buggy GUI of CB REDUCES the sales of the good hiarcs engine. it is damaging the reputation. it is not the chess product that is weak, it is the GUI the company in charge for the GUI produces. instead of Support they should investigate to get programmers who work propper and not always outsource the jobs to bangladesh. this is damaging the engine AND germanies economy.
