Well dan if you would listen carefully, i am not saying the man does not have
talent, or the man is not smart, what i am saying is compared to other here like
shoerder and therton and ban, he should not get the respect that they do, but
yet, he was able to run amir ban off this board. Crafty although good, has never
 been as strong as rebel , or hiarcs, or fritz, or even geniusl. I never said
that hyatt does not know computer chess, what i have said is that others with
more expierence have said things differently, amir said he believes computers
are gm's also, shroeder, and the hiarcs programmer, but according to hyatt they
are "lying" for some promotional thing. HYATT, HAS NEVER produced any statistics
that show computers are not performing on the GM, LEVEL. Most of his arguments
are subjective, based on his limited expierences on icc. HAVE you noticed no
other programmer spends the time at icc as hyatt, what does this mean???, i will
let you guess. I MEAN NO PROFESSIONAL COMMERICAIL PROGRAMMER.
