You need letters. And than you read them character by character. And you need to interpret them right. When Hiarcs was not operated by a member of the Hiarcs team, but a member of the ChessBase team, than hiarcs was mainly working for chessBase. You seem to be very naive. They came with 4 programs and wanted to win a title. this did not work. all 4 programs had the same chessBase user-interface. Your claim that I have seen a conspiracy somewhere is a lie. I never said. All i said was, that chessBase started with 4 programs. You want to deny this. I wonder how ? Can only be a product of your not-knowing. >>You are naive.

I was talking about chessbase participating with 4 programs in the same user-interface. > If Fred >Friedel (or Ossi Weiner, or anybody else) wants to try and make some more money >by having another chess engine available to plug into their product, there's >nothing wrong with that!
