Hello Bob, I have a very nice contact to Gabriele Müller over 1 year. You know my eMail from the last year to Gabi and yourself. Now interference with Gabi from this time. Hans Secelle and Gabriele Müller have very nice ideas. Hans work on positionell knowledge and Gabi on new learn heuristics. I am glad when I see that more and more people have ideas for chess programs. For Hans and Gabi is programming a big hobby and Hans Secelle work now with Tom Vijlbrief (programmer of Ant). I think that Hans and Gabi have not commercial interest with the older programs Voyager and Bionic Impakt and the theme is old. I can understand your point of views but enough is enough (OK, I can not say this but it`s my opinion) ! BTW: Your program play better and better. I think now that Crafty play stronger with longer time controls. This is a reason for fantastic results on "Dual Boards" with longer time controls, or ? Thanks for your work all the time. Regards Frank Bob, you have more experience of life and I will not interfere in the problematic with Bionic and Voyager. People make mistakes (I make mistakes and you make mistakes, Gabi and Hans make mistakes) but it`s better to forget the story.
