No. It is sheer enthusiasm, in my opinion quite justified. >We, the Beta-testers, cannot make it right. If we post games and results, guys >like you complain. If we don't, others demand them. True. As Howard puts it, "damned if you do, damned if you don't." On the other hand, you also complained a year ago when I posted results of Tiger 11.75. Remember your comments about my "hype"? And I only posted results and games, all of them, not a selection. So I find more or less understable if some people get irritated for what may look like propaganda, even when it is not. >>Bombarding the unsuspecting >>consumer with biased comments én masse seem to be the intention. > > >Biased? Because of posting only good results and games? What can we do when >there are no bad ones? There are no bad ones, but not everything is glamourous either. Gambit crushes Fritz 6a/b, Shredder 4, Nimzo 7.32, Goliath light, but has trouble with Junior 6a and Hiarcs 7.32 (scoring about 50%), and in my games Tiger beats Gambit neatly. This last result I find particularly interesting. I like very much how Gambit plays, but it didn't solve the game of chess. >>So instead of adding subjective comments, it would be preferable if you just >>posted games and answered questions and comments from potential customers. >>Starting threads with "spontaneous" comments and patting each others backs until >>your hands are sore seem slightly ridiculous. > > >The tone makes the music, and the one who originally asked some questions wasn't >attacked.

YOUR opinion. Can you tell me why you are the only one complaining? He isn't. You did too... :) Enrique
