That's THE question. All this lawsuit is pure nonsense. The accusation of
cheating the game is pure nonsense as well.
The game we are accused to have cheated, we have LOST it.
Further, should every chess programmer start a lawsuit each time his opponent
tries to outsmart him with a prepared line? Jeroen had prepared a line which
worked against Shredder 4 (the commercial version) and did not work against
Shredder London.
Big deal!
I don't understand why Millennium is trying to damage our reputation with such
an incredibly wrong claim.
It's so stupid. They have won the London WMCCC with the excellent program
Shredder. When you are the king, you don't rush into the nearest pub and look
for a fight...
That's not the way you will get people to respect you.
