Go up one level in this thread


I didn't write that!

I NEVER wrote for example that i dislike Stefan,
in contradiction i think he's a cool fellow!

How could you interpret my posting like that?

He just like most commercials says shit and all they
could do is go fight with each other!

I can't remember any successfull chessprogram where the
engines core has been made by more than 1 person!

Also in the 'dreamteam' i'm missing a programmer with
chessknowledge. All what could happen with the dreamteam
is Shredder getting a bit more forward pruning, borrowed
from Tiger (though after trying it onto shredder he might
not like it as the price might be too high).
