Hi,

>Chessmaster has become fashionable ever since a personality named CMQueen+ was
>created.


I've never been one for "fashion" .. if I were, I most likely wouldn't be here!!
:P  Something being "fashionable" just doesn't cut it IMO as a reason to post
something in a forum that's aimed at an audience which (I hope) is a little more
intelligent than the masses.


>There are many other posts that takes up lots of space that I don't care about.
>One example is those winboard tournaments.


I'm not particularily interested in those either.  However, the people who host
them offer me and other authors valuable feedback on our programs, so I am not
complaining.  It's not so much that I care exactly what place Faile obtained in
a recent WinBoard tourney, I'm more concerned with things like "Is it playing
like a complete retard?" or "Are there bugs?".


>I think another big talk about Chessmaster will arrive when Chessmaster 8000 is
>released.


Oh joy.. I can barely contain my excitement :P  *drowning in sarcasm*


Regards,
Adrien.
