I'll try to explain a bit in response to this post since the other threat went even more off topic. Too many people think that on the internet there is no morale and they can behave as they wish - like they never would in the "real" world. To respond to such brilliant argumentation takes me too long. > >>IMHO computer accounts should have 1 formula and live by it.

Just a suggestion. > >Do you think it is 'questionable' if I let SunSetter play >longer games vs Sjeng than I allow vs humans or other computers? I would say it is not a good idea and unrated might be better. But we both know that humans benefit from more time a lot more than computers. So this comparison is invalid IMHO. >Do you think it is 'questionable' I noplay some computers >and clones? I seem to be very bad at explaining a point since few people understand. To noplay some computers is no problem. To play against 99% of all opponents normally and against me you let Sjeng play 1.a3 2.h3 would be a problem. > >Do you think it is 'questionable' if I allow certain players >to partner Sjeng and censor others? We were not discussing bughouse. > >I think the amount of bullshit you have to cope with on a chesserver >is 'questionable' and I DONT think it's 'questionable' to deal >with it by allowing some people to play and others not or in I think most people in this forum lack the players perspective. Mr.Hyatt for example or you will probably never come close to any computer in any chess variant (note this is not intended to be an insult, I will probably never become a GM either). So you don't have first hand experience how it feels to get kicked out of a best list for example by people gaining an overrated rating by playing your bots. > worse > conditions. > see above. >-- >GCP -- GVZ
