The games were not played manually and they were not played with the
common auto232 interface. There is a public demand by Ed that ALL
programs should use the auto232 interface. ChessBase Fritz5 too ! This
seems to me a very realistic and sensible proposal.
Of course the games of the ChessBase-autoplayer cannot be counted, since
they were not outplayed by an autoplayer that was confirmed by
participants (all other auto232 programs).
It is very obvious WHY the games cannot be counted. The reason the
programs should use the auto232 player by chrilly donninger is to give
ssdf-list a trustable and honorable status back. Without any doubts.
If you would use the results of the ChessBase autoplayer-games, the
problems would be follow due to adding them.
What is your problem ? If fritz is as good as you claim, and the
ChessBase autoplayer is the same as auto232, than the results of Fritz5
will be the same 1st rank ! Nobody would have a problem seeing Fritz5 on
first rank outplayed with an auto232-interface !

The code for 16 or 32 bit should not be the problem. I don't think the
code is as tricky as chess-algorithms.

I don't see that Ed has PROVED something.
I demand what I demand. It is not up to you to tell me what I demand.
You can comment on this. As you have done. This is all Enrique. Not
more.
Not less.
I insist in my ideas because I believe I am right.
You can insist  in your ideas. But don't tell me how I do have to think.
Thanks.

The miscredit is selfmade. When Mercedes cinstructs a car and the car
falls on the NOSE, this cannot be a campaign of journalists. The workers
at Mercedes have made the mistake. The journalists do only publish the
pictures of a mercedes on the NOSE.
ChessBase has decided not to support the auto232 interface although
there is o need to do so. All other programmers support this interface.
ChessBase acted against the common sense.
The miscredit comes from actions. ChessBase is in charge of their own
actions.

>Enrique

A campaign is that you call me launching a campaign because of whatever
reasons. I would also have fought against CSTAL if chris would lead the
list with a special-autoplayer-device and special hardware etc.
YOU claim that I am doing it for personal reason. This is an offense.
There is no need for offending people. Or not here.
