Nobody in the CCC.

But the average chess player in the US; they could care less. Extreme Chess and
Power Chess are both cheaper (I think), and US people would gladly buy them
rather than CM. The only reason CM is as expensive(!) as it is is name
recognition; a lot of people owned previous versions and are brand loyal. :)
