But I read here in I don't think Chessbase is too much worried about that. At least I've never read a single line of shown interest from Chessbase side about postings here. Many of the members simply feel more sympathy for "newcomer" chess engines, and they are willing to help in developing them (e.g. like beta testers). Maybe they see more developing capacity in them. >CCC about GUI bugs in ChessBase as if that were beginners bugs that could as >easily corrected as some nonsense still in Rybka where wants to play with 9 >Pawns...

Should he say: "Please don't post so much about Rybka, don't discuss Rybka bugs in CCC, don't post tournaments results. Leave me alone!" ? Users are naturally more passive in Chessbase's case. 20 years is 20 years. People are hungry for fresh meat. :)
