Robbery?
NO.
I always felt very happy and thankful that for some coins I was capable of getting such marvelous program.
I Liked very much the GUI, all the functions and the kind of play of rebel.
Only part I hated was the install issue, you know what I mean......

Sure, but I like to follow the developments from the background.
Well, if you know the background of the $149. It was Ossi Weiner who set that idiotic price with Genius 1. He was the first and didn't know what to ask. So he tried the $149 and apparently enough were willing to pay for it. The rest (Fritz, Mchess, Hiarcs, me) followed, they didn't know any better. Until Chessbase spolied all the fun and lowered the price with 50%. Call it justice.

You are not a man to stay in the background.
Proof of this is your Prodeo thing, which is a way to stay inside, though a little bit in the margin.
You still MUST create the new paradigm of chess programs, still not tried: the real Chess friend capable of so many things, besides playing strong, that I am explaining to some programmer since at least 1 years without being listened.......
