The event wouldn't be any better if SMK said yes. There would still be the problem of recommendation and fairness. I've told you how you do things fairly over and over again. What is it that you don't get? Most, if not all, sporting events use the concept of equal opportunity and champion cycles. I really don't see why that is hard to understand. Is it because you want to be certain that you can fiddle along with DJ and DF at home during the match? Your resistance to allowing non commercial engines suggest that. >Of course they measure different things.

The settings will be as they should be, as the released verion is. Have you ever followed discussions here after a computer chess tournament? If you have, then you know what a team can alter from match to match. That ranges from concrete alterations in the code (rare, but I think a few did it at Paderborn to fix bugs) to changing book attributes according to opponent. Not to mention time allocation, agressiveness, mobility etc..... Sarah, there's a multitude of alterable parameters, which in the hands of someone who knows the program intimately can change performance. You're very familiar with changing attributes for Chessmaster 6000 and also the Shredder personalities. Just expand that notion and you get the idea. BTW, it won't be the released version. >I am talking about the qualifying event not the Kramnik match. >There are two programs play Deep's Fritz and Junior. We both know that it will be autoplayed, which I don't understand. It saves time I imagine, but a bug could be devastating through repetition. A non author (or another team member) operated program will be weaker. Regards, Mogens
