In that case I do not have any need for the strongest chess program in the world. Yes, I'm also fed up with Chessbase and their failure to fix the bugs in their GUI year after year. I'm not mad enough at Chessbase to "never" buy anything they produce but I'm at the point where I will consider very carefully anything they produce. There should be some implied warranty with their products and when problems are reported they should make an attempt to fix the problems without creating new ones. It is my opinion that in the past they have failed in this respect. Jim
