Hi Eelco, >Does anybody maybe know if the Chess Tiger accounts on ICC are still >encountering 1.h2-h4 openings as Black? today or yesterday I have seen at least one Chess Tiger account that has in its finger notes that it refuses openings like that... And there was mentioned that it refuses to play also many other openings like this... (Reason, also pointed out in finger notes: To maximize score) Well, they can do what they want, but I think those operators are really no sportsman... Another nice thing I see often: Someone starts a new (C)-account, most of the time with crafty and a GHz-munster of computer. After that it sees my little Quark and plays as many games as possible. (Well, first it must play some different opponents, but when it has more then 20 games he starts with that) So they get amazing high ratings in the beginning... (Sometimes, from time to time Quark can fight back... :) At the moment I am really considering to at least noplay crafty-clones because of this behaviour. Or maybe all computers - but I do not want to do that because some other programmes use my program (and it's uncommon style) to test certain things... Funny is that all programmers are sportsman in this case... but there is not much sportsmanship on most of the new (C)-accounts... Greets, Thomas
