WARNING ALL NEWSGROUP MEMBERS..... "BOOKUP" is a scam being run by a single, out-of-work, hack programmer! Mike Leahy is a known liar, thief, and con-man that runs this software scam involving something called "BOOKUP". First, he offers you some software for free in order to get your email address. Then, he plies you with emails trying to get you to purchase his paid versions of the program. Then, if he can suck you into parting with some of your cash, he continues to harass you via email to try to get you to buy his so called "enhancements". Not only that, but you can expect to start getting spam from third party companies that Leahy sells your email address to. The guy has litterally stolen money from someone I know personally as he attempted to take Leahy up on his advertised "money back guarantee". He sent the software back buy Leahy did not give him one dime back. This guy Leahy is the lowest of lowlifes, and he makes postings in this newsgroup under at least half a dozen different aliases to try to give the impression of "neutral" support. Don't be taken by this con-job. If you want good chess software that has been professionally made, stick to reputable companies such as Chessbase, Mattel, Convekta, etc. Chessbase 8 does litterally EVERYTHING that bookup does and much much more. Keep in mind this guy is crafty, and as of recently, he has toned down the spamming in order to try to gain credibility. I have even tested him with a couple of email addresses. Don't be fooled though. This is a con-man tactic and he will quickly revert to his old ways in short order. Jason Repa (advocate of the consumer) I hold that it is bad as far as we are concerned if a person, a political party, an army or a school is not attacked by the enemy, for in that case it would definitely mean that we have sunk to the level of the enemy. It is good if we are attacked by the enemy, since it proves that we have drawn a clear line of demarcation between the enemy and ourselves. It is still better if the enemy attacks us wildly and paints us as utterly black and without a single virtue; it demonstrates that we have not only drawn a clear line of demarcation between the enemy and ourselves but achieved a great deal in our work.

know who to believe or at least know to check things out for themselves.

Nonsense, anyone with common sense knows exactly what you are and what you're doing. You post under numerous aliases and most people know about that as well. Jason Repa |

It finds transpositions really nicely as well (which lots of book authors ignore in some cases). Overall, it's a solid product. |

Clear DayThe story about someone not getting their money back is just that, a story.
In earlier posts Jason Repa claimed someone from Canada sent his download product back to us "post paid" whatever that means. None of this ever happened. Our guarantee is that even if you downloaded the product, you get a refund and you still keep the product.
