Why should I complain about Chrilly (inventor of the autoplayer) and
Stefan
(a friend only 5 minutes from here) when there is nothing to complain
about.
I have seen no cheat at all in it. And I am using the shredder
autoplayer for a long time and the nimzo98 autoplayer since last year
december.

Right. And why should i complain about this ?
Because i do not trust a friend ?
Because I have found no cheat ?
Come on Moritz. You are playing with words.
Why ?
There is no need to.

>No Windows autoplayer for poor Thorsten.

I am not poor. And I had this Shredder autoplayer long time before you
would have thought !
I can only see from the way you use those words that you want
aggression.
You don't want to discuss you want to attack.

I have never understood how foreign language can be so sensible with
only ONE character ! In german this is different. We take more care
about words.

If they implement the auto232 standard autoplayer, and all people can
buy it, and all games are replayed and the old games not counted, and
they get the same rank, than it is ok.
And all this NOISE was self-made because it was easy to extrapolate that
it generates noise.
