Thank you for standing up to the Rybka hype machine.  I believe that you have
nothing against Vas himself or Rybka and that you are simply making sure the
charter is followed in hope that someday this forum will go back to what it once
was.  It is odd but I miss the days of Robert and Vincent arguing over pointless
side issues.  At least then we where learning more about computer chess from 2
of the best if the field.  Now of there is a discussion about use of center pawn
structure in eval no one is interested in the discussion, it is pushed off the
first page in a day and there is only 1 non Rybka related thread on the first
page by morning.  Ironically by the book builder of Rybka (That is not bad, just
funny to me.  It was a very good post).  I hope that at least a few other people
here feel the same way I do.
