You post it here without translating and post it under the misleading title: Re: Gromitchess bookcheating (for Vincent DIEPEVEEN) If you wanted to contact Vincent Diepevenn , why didn't you use email ? What has this to do with GROMIT ??? The anonymous claim was about Goliath in Leiden . We know nothing about the fact if Vincent's protest was right. So why make this up here ? It's even funnier if you remember yesterday's posts btw where Diep thanked Carlos Pesce for his marvellous opening book _he_ used for his program. The real problem is the misuse of the Amateur title IMHO. Is this about making a living with the program ? Then Amir Ban and Shay Bushinsky are amateurs, too. Is it about selling your program ? Well, obviously not - else Gromit couldn't be told amateur ( neither Diep btw ) . It is accepted that Alex Kure makes the Chessbase books and Jeroen Noomen the Rebel books regardless of engine. They simply should call everyone that sells his program professional IMHO. When it is about Gromit : why is there a shadow over their success ? There only was a claim by Vincent that he can't imagine them having such a good book without cheating - come on ! And an anonymous email about Goliath that you posted - thank you very much . pete
