I did not know this. I have no idea which machines moritz has each month. He
changes his hardware like we change underclothe. I am not interested in
hardware.

How do you want to know what I forget and what not. Do you know about what I
talked with moritz, were you ear-witness.

Look, i have no idea what he tested. Not which setup he used. Not which
machines. We did not talked about this. Not at all. He just told me, en passant,
meanwhile we talked about other things, what i posted with much pleasure.

We did not talk about conditions.
I am sure you can produce all kind of results if you change the environment.
If you want to know my opinion about Moritz results, i think moritz
results do not reflect the strength of fritz, as the ssdf-results do not reflect
the strength... and your own results. We have discussed this over and over. I
will not start to discuss it again with you. Whatever and however you test, it
does not produce the results that gives the performance of fritz.
And - as i said before - i am not the only person having this opinion, the fact
is the others don't want to talk with people like you and moritz.
They see no sense in doing this.
So - why shall I follow your points... my friends and I have different point of
views, we also have machines, and we also have different results. Results where
Fritz plays like it played in paris, and like it plays in my tournament, in the
moment. weak games, draws, nothing strong, only 2nd class...

If you call yourself a simple mind, i don't want to stop you from doing it.

If you think thats important to post here, i see no sense in seeing you post
stuff like this. Is this important for this group that you call yourself this
way ?!

Schön.

Mary it. Its the program you deserve.

You want to see fritz in this light.
And you fail to understand that your testing procedure produces the results you
want to produce. If i don't test fritz against program, i don't like and i call
WEAK programs, i will never find out of course how stupid fritz plays.
If you allow chessBase to bring their own strange autoplayer, and you suddenly
get brilliant results, meanwhile all manually playing guys get much weaker
results, more on the level I get, than you should normally be suspicious.
You are'nt- why ?
Because you want to proof what you know before.

These were fast chess tournaments. Any other program would have had the same
good results, even Anand has problems in fast games, what do you expect from
other players ?!?

I don't know. We will see.
I have no idea. IN the  moment the performance was low. Look in the games
yourself. They are public.


>So you don’t care for

>that systematically score less well than Fritz 5?

weaker ! They are weaker. Or the autoplayer cheats. I have no idea enrique.
Try to ask yourself about.

I get rid of those people. There are to many faked people here, who try to
produce chaos and attacks for whatever reasons.

And ? Were you succesful in whatever you tried ?!
Am i not allowed to demand for moderation, just because you have decided this ?!


> One of them, as moderator, gave you a telephone call
>asking you to put an end to your insulting campaign against Chessbase


there was no compain against chessBase. Dirk has worked for chessbase before.
Moritz does. You are all working for chessBase. I am not interested if you get
money or not. But that you all call me doing a campaign AGAINST chessBase looks
a little suspicious for 3 people working for chessbase, doesn't it ?!

Right. I remember very good.

So you believe that because I got your "telephone-call" from an old friend, I
have now not the right to ask for moderation ?
Are you the first class member here, and I am the second class member ?!

>But now that you see the light

So brilliant. This seems to be the beginning of a friendship then .

Depends if someone willingly posted wrong data.
