Well ... it's up to Ossi Weiner and comrades to comment on this. If these people
are too dumb too acknowledge the importance of the SSDF list, they might as well
be forgotten. So what: Shredder 4 does not want to be mentioned in SSDF. Who
cares? If Shredder was as good, as the distributers say, they would not see any
reason to prohibit its testing in SSDF. What does that leave us with? It is not
as good as they say. It's good, yeah, better then the majority of other
programs. But its not top notch, #1, whatever you like to call it. So they make
up this story: Autoplayer manipulated by Chessbase. Yes. Sure. Santa Clause is
coming to town. But this town ain't Munich. Cause nobody needs this BS. I never
heard such foolish claims coming from out of Hamburg. Must be something in the
air in Munich. In Germany we have a saying: "The clock ticks differently in
Bavaria." How true a saying that is.

Don't blame Chessbase for Ossi Weiner's schizophrenia.

Just my baccardi-incised $0.02,
