The Chessbase interface has been around for a long enough time for Chessbase to get it right.If they have not done so, they sell a buggy product which you pay for whether or not you like it, want it, need it or already have it. In addition, you have to use their GUI because they make sure that that their associated engines only run in that GUI. > >Let me explain so far.

He will probably be pleased if he sells 1500 copies of version 1.2. If this is the case then he may not become a multi-millionaire from this release. Dunlop, the people who make the tyres for my car, don't have an independent product. That is the nature of things in the modern world. > >He uses this forum as cheap stage for declarations.

Anyway, a lot more CCC readers will be interested in the latest offering from the Rajlich website than will be interested in this discussion. I am not interested in this discussion either - I am only replying because I am bored. > > > >My moral question to all: > >Why in hell is Vasiks wish to make profit higher-valued and supported by all and >ChessBase who invented all the state of the art is being dumped as if cheapo, >dumb and nuts?
