I think C.deGorter just tells his opinion, and doesn't claim that it's >the final judgement. I wouldn't worry. As I said, my original thoughts were wrong. I had been sent excerpts by email, and no mention of the author's actual name, just the website. Now that I know who wrote the thing, and have seen the _entire_ article, it was obviously written by someone that doesn't "count" in my book. case closed here. no problems with Chessbase. De Gorter is a moron, however, to publish something so badly written with so many contradicting statements and tournament results... Glad to know that a report on "top commercial programs" has to spend most of its words on "crafty". He needs a dictionary. Crafty isn't "commercial". On my xeon, it also is _far_ from weak. Most realize this. Commercial or not.
