Go up one level in this thread


I am very interested in hearing opinions about the performance of all chess
programs discussed here- be them positive or very critical, whether they are
freeware or shareware, and whether they are written by a college professor or a
plumber, the president of the United States or my neighbour's wife, be it a nice
fellow or an a**hole.

This is a computer chess discussion board.
It's not a forum for bullying anyone you don't agree with, making false
accusations or using double standards in juging programs.
It's also not to be reduced to an applause machine for any programmer or
producer of chess software, be it the commercials or bare amateurs.

Recently we have seen some very interesting discussions about testing programs
and program strenght, especially Crafty. I'm looking forward to continuation of
those kinds of discussions.

Besides that I think your message is denigrating to Bob Hyatt, who repeatedly
showed to be very capable of telling the world how *he* thinks about it.
The reason why you do it, raises sympathy, but it misses the point of this
message board altogether.
