Dr. Nunn rewrote the book utilizing new annotation and added some extra analysis, at least some claim the analysis is not meaningful. Bobby Fischer became aware of this new book and filed a lawsuit ( probably copyright infringement ) and now you cannot purchase Dr. Nunn's edition anywhere, for at least the moment. In other words, Dr. Hyatt is stating Dr. Nunn "may" have copyright priviledges over his test suites, however; as noted above, if he can blatantly copy "My Sixty Memorable Games" why cannot others use his test suites ?? In fact, ARE certain positions on the board copyrightable ?? The positions he has chosen are already "well known" opening positions, so how can he defend his patent of the square handled coffee cup, when it was there all along ?? BTW I liked you Mick Jagger comparison, it was funny ! -:) Now....about that release date of Cinderella Ferret....I see a new chess engine for Fritz 6 in it's future.... Best regards, Bango123
