Without wanting to get involved into the chessbits vs shredder/MCS case, a world micro world title is potentially worth way more as 300 copies. A million dollar? >In my opinion this pompous law-suit-overreaction leaves a sour taste. I always >thought you had nothing to do with the legal threats/actions in the name of >Shredder. The campaign against the SSDF is only a couple of weeks behind us. If SSDF is a clear case of outbooking and 'who has the better learning' and 'who provides SSDF with a new machine' and 'my implementation of auto232 doesn't give you a save game command so you can't learn hehehehe'. Note that SSDF plays with each program only a fraction of the games that are played in tests with the programs, SOS perhaps being an exception, though some others might want to command even the opposite of that as many could test a winboard version. However, where this list is arguable a complete freak list, just a few freak see the output of that list. This is completely independant from a possible WMCC title which gets stolen from a person because a tester of him has revealed information to a third party (without wanting to take position whether Marcus DID reveal such information). Thank God that tiger lost that game. 1/2 point behind Fritz otherwise, which didn't even get DIEP as opponent, though i had prepared for Fritz. >it hadn't been such a repetitive boredom people might have actually read those >endless articles of your friends in German Chess Magazines against the SSDF. >Your post here provokes unwanted advice like the following: You are not good at >law suits and mud-throwing. You are good at writing chess programs. Oh well that's true for al lot of persons. Especially myself included in the 'you suck in contracts' list.
