Chessbase 10
Michael Diosi
As you all know by now Chessbase will release version 10 of their program on
July the 21st.. As our sources say the program is able to play Rachmaninov
music in the background now. It still doesn't understand the rules of chess,
according to our informant. By the way we didn't get any reviewer's copy. It
seems they don't like independent reviews. Only magazines depending on
ChessBase advertising will get such a copy so they can umm , you know what I
mean...
Also their corrupt sysops who kick innocent users from the servers will get
such a copy...
Best,
Michael

You're not independent -- you're a competitor. I wouldn't trust you
to write an unbiased review any more than I'd trust a ChessBase
fanboy.

I was awaiting such a silly comment. I am independent because I don't sell
anything. I do not depend on any Chessbase adverts or sponsoring. Also I
don't sell any of ChessBase competitors software.I don't get payed by anyone
to write the review. This is what is called independent.Arena is also FREE
! So ChessBase is not a competitor at all. Go on and trust all the
ChessBase reports which don't tell you anything about the bugs. It is your
money afterall so you may spend it for any crap ChessBase software you want.
I bet you weren't aware of any pf the ChessBase bugs before I posted them !
I will continue posting each and every bug so people know before they buy
crap ChessBase software and they get informed about bugs, ChessBase sysops
behaviour on the server, ChessBase telephon support and so on. Those things
you usually don't read about in "serious" pages and magazines because they
either sell this crap ChessBase software and would make any positive review
they could or they depend on ChessBase advertising.

Whether you sell things is irrelevant. You are not independent
because you produce (and give away) a product that competes with those
that ChessBase sells. It is, therefore, in your best interests to
encourage people to use your product rather than ChessBase's.

I wasn't aware of the specific bugs you pointed out, no. However, my
copy of Fritz 8 is full of irritating little bugs so I'm not at all
surprised to learn of similar bugs in ChessBase. Thank you for
bringing them to our attention.
But I still don't expect you to write an unbiased review of ChessBase.
I expect you would write a truthful review of the software but that is
not the same thing.
Dave.

This is what it's called independent. I do not DEPEND on ChessBase NOR on
any of their concurents NOR do I do a living out of Arena. I don't give
anything away, people download the software from our page. This is like
saying appletrees are giving apples away.

I will continue doing this here and on the Arena and Exactachess page.

It in an independent report presenting you the true value of the product.
Only the truth, no inventions and magic advertising tricks like all other
reports you will be able to read or are already reading everywhere. Unlike
Arena where bugs were described in a forum and we also had a page describing
all bugs http://playwitharena.com/upd/upd-3.htm Chessbase doesn't have
this. You get banned on the server for mentioning such bugs. As you see this
is independent, mentioning also the bugs and not only the positive aspects
of our own software. This is true journalism and refutes your thesis about
us beeing biased. We do post own bugs, ChessBase doesn't, they are biased,
not us. We are their main concurent as Arena is free. They are not our
concurent. All proofs are out there. Check the history of the Arena pages

Hello
is there a site you could recommend where it is listed the Bugs in
Chessbase, I use CB8 but a list of CB9 or CB10 would be handy/useful
and may well strike me as familiar.
thanks
Keith (at present am googling "chessbse bugs" as well as reading
exactachess as well as the Area site)
