I really do not understand why nobody is interested in producing a new GUI. There is soo much potential and it would be much more useful for millions of potential customers (well,..at least me and Fern).fern wrote:In fact I did not complain, but asked. It could be that I was wrong and 80 -sorry: 79.95- is not too much after all.
In these cases I do not complain: I just do not purchase.
Respect strength, you are right, that's the reason I say once and again that commercial programs cannot just offer engines but must give some extra things, as a new gui, services, etc.,.
If not, your reasoning is always demolishing.

I want:
- A nice design (more like Fritz, but with more fancy playing tools)
- Many cool characters I can play against (with a large varitey of Elos and playing styles; however more entertaining and interactive compared to the Chessmaster series; e.g. with player animations)
- A chess-club or tournament simulator (that would be a really entertaining feature; there should be virtual chess-clubs you can enter, with ral room simulation, e.g. a house, tables, people walking around to give it athmosphere, and then you play against the other members/characters of that club, with the possibility to improve to better clubs or leagues later. So this could include a simulation of national leagues and tournaments. You could work on your virtual FM norm etc.. Just imagine the fun reaching a new level. Imagine yourself playing in Linares or Wijk am Zee! That would be fun. There could even be real chess clubs involved (not comparable to the poor option that can be found in Playchess)
-A startup/installation wizard which askes what I want to do with the GUI in detail. So only the tasks that I am interested in are displayd in the GUI. Arena or Fritz GUIs for example are very nice, but I do only use 5% of their features
- Moron 2.0 preinstalled (although this would raise the price astronomically)
