Don't get me wrong. I really do plan to make a match between Hiarcs 10 using
thise settings against the latest Rybka. On top of that, despite the opinion of
some, I enjoy watching some of the engines play. In fact, the openings suite I
designed was above all for that, and not some philanthropic desire to contribute
to the community (sorry, community), to have a suite that would lead to varied
and interesting games to watch. So we certainly share the pleasure of watching.
My only objection was that the numbers were presented as a demonstration of
abiity between the two, and if that were the case, I had significant
reservations on the methodology. Just my two cents.
