Hi Frederic ! I hope you had a good trip this weekend. I have a question and I think many people also would ask it. Look, many years ago I bought a good Bosch drill and I am very happy with it. When I need a new drill bit, I go to the local hardware shop and buy a new bit. And I buy there only a drill bit, not a whole drill. But my drill is getting older and older and soon I would buy a new drill. During the last year I bought Fritz 5.32, Junior 5 and Hiarcs 7. It was around AUS$100 each including postage. All of them have the same GUI , but I never used Junior's or Hiarcs's interface because I run these engines under Fritz 5.32. I upgraded my Fritz 5.32 to Fritz6 now. And I want to buy just the Junior-6 engine ! I don't need another useless GUI, which would grab 10 Mb+ of my tiny HD and which I would NEVER use! And soon I'll need Hiarcs-8 or Nimzo-8 because I enjoy watching eng.vs.eng. matches. So, what for to buy another three drills ,if I have one (Fritz-6) and I just want drill bits for it ?! I would be happy to pay reasonable ,say, $20-30 for the eng. and DLL files and I would use them with Fritz GUI. Does it may sense ? And if you sell programs and engines separetely, more people would afford to buy them and I reckon you would double your profit. I hope you would speak with your friends from ChessBase about it. Thanks for your great job Your long time customer (I hope) Anatoli (not Karpov)
