With all the excellent *free* chess programs that are available, why would anyone want to steal one? I simply don't understand it. And you can buy CM6000 for $20! Twenty dollars, for crying out loud! Even the really full-featured programs are around $100. So why would anyone even *want* to steal one? For what I do, I don't think I would ever need anything more than Crafty+Winboard+CDB+Nalimov TB's. The cost of that complete outfit is $0.00. And I did buy some programs just for the fun of it. I find that CM5500 stays in the box, and I play with Winboard and Winboard engines most of the time. Probably just personal preferences, or perhaps I recall the bitter wounds of my first game against it, which was a *real* thrashing ;-) At any rate, why? I want to know why people would even bother to do it when it is so completely unnecessary.
