I must have missed that >:-( Frederic, you are missing my point. Someone in this thread said that CB was doing marketing. I replied saying that there is nothing wrong with marketing, done or not. Christophe didn't post results of Tiger, but I did, others did too, and nevertheless a few people here in CCC started moaning about the marketing ploy. My point: who cares if it's marketing or not. And no, Chessbase did not post results, which is irrelevant to me in any case. Enrique
