a prejudice is when you say something without having experienced facts/data.

when you say a chess program is weak, so we don't test it,
this is a prejudice.

if you call me prejudice because i call this prejudice, this is IMO
nonsense.

because i have tested virtual chess and i have manually played many games.
i put virtual in my tournaments and i know it was a strong program.
others feel or know this too.

so WE played out data. how can we be prejudiced ???

prejudiced is somebody saying something without knowing.
thats the definition.

i have virtual dos and windows here. i used it.

i would say it is a little to late for virtual.
the program is OLD now.

everything is IMO within green area.
