And, the members of CCC >get to see the results of the tournament. it is not important what the name of a program is. it is only important how the games are. i could make the tournament with giving each program a number and not name them. i would still be much interested in it. because i am looking for the games, not for the NAMES. >Seems fair to me.

Why should Chris have a >right to prevent anyone here from seeing Fritz versus Junior, for example, just >before his program will play them also? he is the author of cstal and has rights. >I would also argue that this sets an unfortunate precedent. If another >programmer objects to the results being posted in RGCC, will you honor that >request also? i will decide depending on my mind. if e.g. the licence agreement of a special program says: you are only allowed to post results after getting the permission by the programmer, i will have to decide different than when the licence agreement is not restricitive. >Roger i have worked with chris many years. but i do like other programmers and their work too. you claim that i am biased. but i said that shredder or tiger would win the championship in paderborn. so i am biased towards them too. am i ? also i wrote articles about mchess. so i am biased towards mchess too. i wrote about rebel. biased towards it. also i tested zarkov. biased. i do like uli tuerke, comet programmer. biased. i like dave kittingers wchess. biased i am. i like isichess. and , as a result, i am biased. in the end you will see, that all programmers pay me to let their programs win. vincent does, virtual guys do (i was biased in paris too, they paid me 2000 $ to let virtual win over cstal). i was biased in paderborn 1995 when cstal had to fight against hiarcs. you are right. i am biased. because i like computerchess. and i honor what the programmers do. i should be punished by death-penalty. :-))) how did i know that hiarcs would win championship 1993. because i was biased. i like chrilly donninger. that makes me biased.
