Much more exciting! >(Is that what you meant?) >S.Taylor No, sorry if I was not clear. I miss reading about computer chess, learning from the best, and people sharing ideas. This is the opposite of what Rybka is about as Vas has gone out of his way to hide what Rybka is doing and does not share ideas with the computer chess community. This is fine of course but reading the hype and watching a group of people pay to beta test Rybka is not fun for me. If others find this fun that is fine as well. I will just move to a forum that better fits what I am looking for and continue doing what I do. I hope this is more clear this time. Thanks, Ryan Benitez
