I was watching a few games between two computer accounts on ICC last night, and I noticed that both programs were using Tiger. One, I don't see the point in the games, and two, one of the accounts had it in his finger notes, that he didn't want to play other Rebel Tiger clones. The other account was supposed to be using Fritz 6, but his gamestart kibitzes were that of Rebel Tiger. So really, he was abusing the first account, by lying about what program he was using, and not respecting the wishes of the other account. I see this happen quite a bit, is there no way to implement a feature to noplay programs that kibitz the Rebel Tiger II kibitz? Crafty has such a feature, and I think it is a great feature. Or even better, as the Tiger interface automatically sets the interface variable, and if I am not mistaken, does it at the start of every game, why not have Tiger look at the persons variables, to see if it states Tiger is being used, and then noplay the person if so. I know the interface variable can be changed.. but what the heck :) What most people do not understand is, playing the same program you are using, usually turns out ot be a hardware battle, and is pointless. I guess kiddies using daddy's big hardware computer, and the gift theygot for xmas need to show that their big hardware can beat someone using the same program on lesser hardware. Geez.. grow up. Crafty asks the same of all the Crafty clones. Why shouldn't Tiger expect less. Can you imagine 14 Tiger clones competing for the next WCCC? That would be stupid. And if you are all wondering.. no neither of these accounts were mine :P
