Hello Stuart,

I have quoted at length from Ryan's post.  The ( ) are mine:

"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 (if) 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."


It is clear that your post misses entirely what he meant.  Ryan made his point
in clear English though.  Inexplicable how it could have been misunderstood...


Later.
