Of course not. If you've followed this forum for a while, you'll know that people will sell their grandmothers to get a version with a few more ELO points. Adding a few freeware engines just spices things up and provides a good measurement for the value of your purchase. When 95% of the available engines are seriously weakened then it's a different matter. >This isn´t my opinion, because every progress is still faszinating. As well as >the differnce of 100-150 Elo between amateurs and profis. Exactly. >Few years ago I played simultan against GM Matthias Wahls in Hamburg (ok, I lost >quite fast, not my day...) and we talked about chess and elos. I asked him what >it means if he has to play against a player who is rated 50 elo points higher >than himself. He said "50 Elopoints are world but I woud try the best"... That's a good point. Why not let the WinBoard engines try their best? Regards, Mogens
