Never received product key after paying.

Pros
none. never received the product key I paid for via Paypal.
Cons
I paid for this via paypal on Monday. Today is Saturday and after emails to the publisher and the seller, no response, no key.
Summary
Next step is to visit Paypal and request a refund. I am betting I am already screwed. This is the first time I have bought a program here and been screwed.
great for beginners

Pros
Cons
Summary
the opening name list and colored repertoire is great for beginners. also for gambiteers; seems to contain most gambit names, not all unorthodox openings yet apparently price is not much but it also has some limitations still, as still only the crafty engine; also loading of this online engine could be improved; and booktraining should be improved download of trial certainly recommended
Nice chess program, but still needs some work

Pros
Cons
Summary
The program has unique features, but it has to solve some feature leaks, such as speed on older computers or playing against a machine opponent. In generally, my impressions are good.

Summary
For complete beginners a nice way of starting to learn chess. Would be nicer if more engines would implemented, as they promise to do in future
