Rybka costs 34 EUR, while e.g. HIARCS 10 is 50 EUR. Is it too much to pay 16 EUR
for the excellent GUI? Remember that Shredder Classic is sold for 25 EUR, the
upgrade price to Shredder 9 is 25 EUR, which means you pay 25 EUR for the GUI
(and the Shredder Classic engine which is not very strong).

I think the trouble with ChessBase is that you have to buy the same GUI all the
time. They don't sell the engine by itself.
