Did you ever think that this might render damages to the software house
producing ChessMaster 2100? By giving a means to everyone to avoid their
protection scheme, you are actually causing a potential loss in sales,
since nobody has to have the manual to be able to play the game.

Golden raspberry award for you, for that idea.
