Go up one level in this thread


Well, Howard, so is life. Let me tell you that I saw ingo doing his show against
a IM chilean, Rodrigo Vásquez. We organized a little tournament that was played
in my home, in my desk room, in fact in my kingdom. For the purpose of his
preparations Ingo used to go into my feud lot before I even begun my brekfast,
so he became kind of a master of my computer: I remember things like "sorry,
Ingo, may a I see my email? hehehehe". Well, my thing was at that time a 200 Mhz
MMX Intel. With it he runned my Fritz 5,32 setted at infinite level. Against
Rodrigo he was slaughtered all the same. Just like a convoy cannot go faster
than the slower of the ships, a three or even just two heads artifact cannot
play better than the slower of the heads. I mean, I never saw a moment where the
judgement of Ingo was of some use as much:

a) the program not always did present better lines in his constant creations of
PV lines. Nothing to decide...

b) the judgement itself not neccesarily was more sound than the one made by
Fritz.


In the meantime we still does not know a shit about this contraption that, in my
judgement, sounds like a marketing contraption mnore than anything else.
