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.
