I see that this situation is quite cutthroat, although I haven't seen you attacking them quite like they want to jump on you. I don't compete for commercial dollars so I don't get to see the ins and outs of this nonsense. But, in any case, of course you didn't 'break the story' and I didn't mean to imply that you did. That was pretty quickly tracked directly to ChessBase when I asked Hsu about it. Computer chess is a small niche market, but boy is it bloodthirsty, it seems. :( > >>Had I beat them 3 games, I wouldn't have said a word until I found out what >>was going on... because _I_ would have quickly suspected that something was >>not right...
