right. some programs really do so.
not in any game it can be easily seen. not in any game it works.
i think i have seen such a behaviour in some mchess games.
also gandalf comes to my mind. gambit-tiger of course. also
cstal. hiarcs. also certain diep versions were able to do so.
in older times Kaplan programs were good for this. Maestro D or D+ or D++ e.g.
or Socrates.

i have tried to discuss this with mogens before. you will not make progress
telling him. he is HIS opinion and is not changing.
guess he is still in the 20th century. or whatever. he denies it and you can
show him whatever you want, he will not see it.

its hopeless IMO. but - i will watch how this continues. maybe you get
successful.

:-)))

yes. as i said: its hopeless. he knows anything. like bob. they should try to
mary. would be a good pair. he knows everything and programs, and he knows
everything and tests.

famous couples, like oscar soandso and felix unger. you remember them ?
